MOTA DEL CUERVO<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Female Lineage of Clay in Mota del Cuervo<\/h2>\n

In Mota del Cuervo, ceramics carry a distinctly feminine voice. For centuries, the Barrio de las Cantarer\u00edas was a small productive universe where home and workshop merged, and where women shaped the clay by hand while men extracted the earth or fired the kilns. Eighteenth-century census records speak of dozens of potter families concentrated in this neighborhood; their memory lives on today in the Pottery Museum, opened in 2009 in the very heart of the Cantarer\u00edas district.<\/p>\n

The museum and its surroundings recount a unique technical lineage: coil building (construction with rolls) and a primitive \u201cCeltic wheel.\u201d Local research links this tradition to an Arab heritage in firing techniques and a Celtic influence in the use of the roller.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
