Marie-Ange and Jacky Graessel, who come from a line of potters from Betschdorf, arrived in Soufflenheim by chance some thirty years ago. A Sunday walk with their daughter brought them to the village on a fair day and they fell under the spell of a shop on sale. Everything followed very quickly and since then, the Graessel pottery has been producing mainly handmade stoneware (high fire at 1280°C) in a wide range of coloured glazes.
