Westerwald stoneware - more than just Bembel? For centuries, the "white gold" of the Westerwald was part of everyday life, an export hit and a symbol of regional strength. Today, we still encounter its shapes and colors as an expression of home, craftsmanship and cultural change. Together we will get to the bottom of the transformation of a natural material into a cultural asset - from clay as a resource to the art of craftsmanship.
