Opis:

Horezu ceramics is a unique type of Romanian pottery that is traditionally produced around the town of Horezu in northern Oltenia (Vâlcea County). The craftsmanship of Horezu pottery was inscribed on UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists in December 2012. The techniques used to create the beautiful Horezu ceramics are coming from ancient times, more than 2000 years. The first video presents a potter and his family who shape, decorates and then burn a vassel.The process begins by bringing the reddish clay in the potter's workshop, where it is processed. The obtained paste is cleaned of impurities, is divided into balls and then worked on the wheel.Creating a pot requires a special technique and a high working speed because the paste should not dry.After modeling, the pots are left to dry for a few days in the shade and then burned in special ovens after they have been previously ornamented and eventually blushed.The dominant symbol of Horezu painted pots is the rooster along with we can meet other traditional symbols.The colours are vivid shades of dark brown, red, green, blue and ‘Horezu ivory’.
