Friar Daniel lives in the Taizé Community in Burgundy, France. He has been making pottery for fifty years. As a ceramic artist he is in a direct contact with the elements. Each stage of this craft is in a triad of alliances, linked with nature, itself and other people. Water and fire are quarrelling siblings who are reconciled by the potter and persuaded to co-operate. Pottery, with its origin dating back to the beginning of time, offers continuously reviving values for the man of today. Every day friar Daniel shares his work and its values with those who visit his workshop: children, friends and his brothers and sisters from the community.
