St. Andrews Abbey
Patron Saint Ceramic Creations from St. Andrew's Abbey:
These beautiful ceramic creations are original designs by Fr. Maur van Doorslaer, O.S.B., helping the St. Andrew's Abbey monks establish a ceramics industry in Valyermo as a means to support the monastery. The hallmark of Fr. Maur's original designs are the large, wide open eyes of his saints, madonnas and angels, expressing wide-eyed wonder at the beauty of God, his creations, our world and its beauty, seen simply, as through the eyes of a child. His artwork is not only simple, it is also joyful, humorous and kind. Although each hand-made creation is unique in its coloration, each piece is examined for the quality required of a collectible bearing the St. Andrew's Abbey name.
