Encourages artistic ceramic production via European financial assistance, as advocated by Talavera

Talavera de la Reina, a city in Spain, recently hosted a unique ceramics course as part of the CeraMINTUR program. The course, attended by the City Councilor for Crafts and Tourism, Gelen Delgado, was held at Cerámica Vodre, a workshop specialising in Mexican and Spanish ceramics.

The CeraMINTUR program, funded by the European Union's Next Generation Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan, is promoted by the Spanish Association of Ceramic Cities. The program offers practical and close training in the art of ceramics, allowing participants to work with clay on the wheel and manual modeling.

During the session, attendees learned not only the traditional techniques of Talavera ceramics but also modern glazing methods. The instructor, Juan Carlos Fernández, demonstrated how tradition and experimentation can coexist in the ceramics-making process, creating pieces with their own unique identity.

The councilor stated that participants were deeply impressed by the creative experience of the course. Many expressed their desire to return to decorate and finish their pieces after the drying and firing process. The course reinforces the idea that Talavera ceramic is not only a historical heritage but a living and constantly evolving craft.

The resulting pieces from the workshop have their own unique identity, a testament to the creative journey of each participant. The City Council of Talavera de la Reina reported on the session in a press release, praising the course's success and the dedication of the attendees.

It's important to note that the ceramics course is only available to registered subscribers. If you're interested in joining the next session, consider registering for the CeraMINTUR program. Embrace the creative spirit of Talavera de la Reina and experience the magic of ceramics for yourself!
