Pottery and Ceramics: Saint-Quentin-la-Poterie has had a history of pottery making for centuries. Kilns for baking clay date back to the 13th century here. Today, the town is full of ceramic artists’ workshops. The vestiges of a potter’s kiln dating from the 12th or 13th centuries indicate that the pottery industry there is ancient.
