Born in 1921 in Switzerland, Daniel de Montmollin, known as Brother Daniel, was one of the founders of the Taizé Community in 1942. He discovered pottery in 1949 whilst working alongside Alexandre Kostanda, before the latter left for Vallauris, and subsequently joined the pottery workshop within the ecumenical community.
He is particularly renowned for his glazes made from plant ash enriched with oxides.
