Traditional pottery is a production method and way of life on the verge of extinction. In the province of Almería, this ancient craft is still alive. Through interviews with potters and their work on the wheel, painting, decanting clay, lead glazing, placing ceramics inside the kiln or firing in an old kiln, we have recreated this ancient tradition that has been handed down from generation to generation, surviving and transforming itself. From the search for clay and raw materials to the breaking of the kiln door to extract the pieces after firing, this work highlights the potter's craft as a sign of a people's identity and part of our intangible heritage.
