Horezu Romanian Pottery

View this post on Instagram

Next for PIAbadasswomen are the traditional potters of Horezu, a Romanian pottery form from northern Vâlcea County, Romania. The tasks that go into making this pottery are divided by gender. . According to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage database, “The women decorate the objects using specific techniques and tools to draw traditional motifs. Their skill in combining decoration and colour defines the personality and uniqueness of these ceramics. The colours are vivid shades of dark brown, red, green, blue and ‘Horezu ivory’. The object is then fired. The potters use traditional tools: a mixer for cleaning the earth, a potter’s wheel and comb for shaping, a hollowed-out bull’s horn and a fine wire-tipped stick for decoration, and a wood-burning stove for firing.” Men are responsible for preparing the clay. . The article did not say if the potters who shape the pots are typically women or men, but in the full length video, I saw both men and women performing this role. If anyone has more information on this, feel free to chime in in the comments. –@deebalm This video has been edited.
