From Clay to the Potter's Wheel: The ceramics of Rua das Olarias
Events
The Islamic Nucleus, in Tavira, hosts the exhibition "From Clay to the Potter's Wheel: The ceramics of Rua das Olarias".
This exhibition is the result of an exceptional archaeological discovery in two ceramic workshops in Rua das Olarias (numbers 6 and 7), and the study of their kilns and workspaces, as well as thousands of ceramic fragments produced there until the mid-sixteenth century. This exhibition aims not only to highlight the presence of ceramic workshops, especially on that street in the city, but also to provide a glimpse through centuries of pottery production, highlighting the importance of this industry at certain moments in local history.
The focus will also be on ceramics from other areas, illustrating Tavira's participation in a network of regional contacts over the centuries.
