Hay's verhaal 00:00 / 01:33 Audiofragment getranscribeerd: Mijn naam is Hay Martens, geboren en getogen in Reuver. Wij woonden tegenover de fabriek, mijn vader werkte in de fabriek, allemaal in de Greswaren fabriek. Toen ik naar school ging heb ik een technische opleiding gevolgd en toen ik die af had ben ik begonnen in de smidse. Ga maar eens een week of een paar weken proberen in de smidse, kijk maar of ze daar iets aan jouw hebben, dan praten we daarna over de loon. Zo ging dat in die tijd. Mijn eerste werk was door een gat kruipen waar ik net doorheen paste en ik moest van die hele dikke ijzeren kogels uit een molen halen. Zaten ze met twee volwassen buiten te zeggen, hé schiet eens op. Ik had het zweet op mijn voorhoofd staan, maar ik was het kleinste en paste door het gat van de chamotte molen waar de buizen weer gemalen werden. Soms werd er wel eens gezegd dat heb je goed gedaan, maar meestal was het doorwerken en leren. Wij haalden ook wel eens katte kwaad uit hoor! In de smidse had je een grote kap boven het vuur hangen, wij deden dan van een afstand kogels op die kap gooien. Onder de kap stond de smid te werken aan het smids vuur, de kap was om het rook op te vangen, daar lag altijd stof en ander troep op, en zo op en viel dit allemaal in de nek van de smid, haa haa, dan moesten we zorgen dat we snel weg kwamen want dan kregen we bijna de hamer die de smid in zijn handen had naar ons toe gegooid.

Finding my way in a completely new country had a profound impact on my life. In 1989, after various wanderings, I decided to settle in the Limburg village of Beesel. There I discovered the ceramic industry, which was in full bloom at the time. It felt like coming home to me and it was a natural choice to start working with clay, something in which I had always had a passion. I followed an apprenticeship programme and completed a technical course in fine ceramics in Gouda. In 1991, I moved to a listed building in the village centre of Beesel, where I both live and work. With each new piece or commission, I strive for innovation and use both old and contemporary techniques to achieve the desired result. Life leaves traces, just as I leave my traces in the clay. A trace is a path to something familiar, but also to something new.

Rinie's verhaal 00:00 / 01:26 Audiofragment getranscribeerd: Ik ben Rinie Janssen, wij woonden vroeger bij de fabriek, Mijn vader was baas Janssen. Meer als 50 jaar heeft hij bij Teeuwen gewerkt en als kind zijnde hebben we daar een mooie tijd gehad. Bijvoorbeeld als we vader nodig hadden, en hij was in de fabriek aan het lopen. Nu op vandaag hebben ze mobieltjes maar toen hadden we een klaxon, of een toet zoals ze dat toen noemden. Toen moesten we “kort lang kort” op de toet drukken dan kwam hij. Langs het huis stond een hele grote schoorsteen, als we daar papiertjes in deden, wat we eigenlijk niet mochten, maar ja, af en toe waren we eens stout, dan duwden wij daar kranten in en kwamen ze er boven uit. En als het onweerde dan sloeg het bij ons bovenop die schoorsteen, waar we die papiertjes in duwden, dan viel bij ons het licht uit. Dan moest vader de fabriek in omdat we anders in het donker zaten, dan moesten wij een of ander zekering indraaien. Vroeger gingen we een keer per week ons wassen, tegenwoordig springen we onder de douche maar toen hadden we geen douche we gingen in een grote zinken teil, maar ja, dat was heel veel werk, Er moest warm water gemaakt worden op het fornuis en er ging veel water in die teil. In de fabriek wassen was een gemak, dan hoefden ze thuis niets meer te doen. Familie Janssen zomer 1948 Jan, Har, Nellie, Rinie en Els. Baas Janssen Meer verhalen

Nellie's verhaal 00:00 / 01:33 Audio excerpt transcribed: I am Nellie, the eldest daughter of boss Janssen. I lived in the house attached to the factory until I was 21. We experienced everything there. I experienced the war there, I can still remember it very well. A grenade hit our house, I can still remember that very well. That, above all, it was broken. The fact that lightning struck more often and that all the electrical pipes burst open was very frightening. Furthermore, I really enjoyed living there, but yes, there was no real room for maneuver. We were not allowed in the clay cave, even though we went there secretly. Every day the clay train came by and went from Teeuwen via the Keulseweg to the German border to collect clay. It was a spectacle every day when he came by. What I also remember is that when there was a wedding, the factory workers would put bowls in clay and place them in the middle of the road, and when the wedding procession passed by they would throw coins into them. When the procession was gone, the workers rushed outside to see what was inside. This they did divide themselves together. I don't actually know what they did with the money, but I suspect they went for a beer together. Janssen family summer 1948 Jan, Har, Nellie, Rinie and Els. Baas Janssen More stories

Rinie's verhaal 00:00 / 01:26 Audio excerpt transcribed: My name is Rinie Janssen, we used to live near the factory. My father was Janssen's boss. He worked at Teeuwen for more than 50 years and we had a wonderful time there as children. For example, if we needed our father,and he was in the factory. Nowadays they have cell phones, but back then we had a klaxon, or a toot as they called it back then. Then we had to press the key “short long short” and he came. There was a very large chimney next to the house, when we put papers in it, which we weren't actually allowed to do, but yes, every now and then we were naughty and we pushed newspapers into it and they came out above. And when a thunderstorm hit us on top of the chimney, where we pushed those pieces of paper into, our lights went out. Then father had to go into the factory because otherwise we would be in the dark and we would have to turn in some kind of fuse. We used to wash once a week, nowadays we jump in the shower, but then we didn't have a shower, we went in a large zinc tub, but yes, that was a lot of work, Hot water had to be made on the stove and a lot of water went into that bowl. Washing in the factory was a convenience, so they didn't have to do anything at home. Janssen family summer 1948 Jan, Har, Nellie, Rinie and Els. Baas Janssen More stories
