Of course it was wonderful to touch all the bases of such a rich, local tradition but the part that struck me the most, was the level of determination they expressed for preserving their culture.

This video is a treasure, with it's history of minerals, the wonderful 'sloppy' but super skilled in fact potters, the Japanese master potters would appreciate this looseness and way of making I'm sure. Thank you Mathew for saving this with your wonderful film.

I really liked this documentary. I enjoyed watching the entire ceramic process from beginning to end. My only regret was not having visited Nijar, since I lived in Spain for 2 years. I love hearing about these human trades, which in the age of industrial technology this humana connection to trades has definitely been lost. Great video!

l love the film. First - because it presents thr area, it's history, geography and the origins of the materials used by the potters. Next - because it explains much about the technique of pottery making and decorating. That's why it is just useful if you want to make pottery.. I'd love to watch them make "bidones" in real and learn from these men.. Muchas gracias por este video:)

These men need to understand something: if they asked on the internets, if they got the word out to local kids/teens they would find those who would love to learn but they wish their kids want to learn. Well, that' tradition of carrying a paren't trade is what's dead. Teach those who wish to learn and it won't die. They are being stubborn in an old mindset. The world has changed many times over since they were kids.

The big water pots mentioned in the video (10:50) were unglazed, because in a hot climate the ever so slightly movement of water boubles and water waporating through the walls of an unglazed pot makes the water stay cool.

Actually Cántaros and Botíjos were never glazed, and were just porous enough to allow for the evaporating outside water, serves to cool the water container within.

It would be wise for the Spanish Government and College system to adopt the Nijar potteries and pottery style alive and to maintain it as an industry inside the town and in local colleges where this style could be preserved and advanced with newer techniques of hand thrown pottery that competes with the craft pottery of other countries. It would be a shame to just allow it to fade into antiquity with the last of the practitioners of this ancient pottery and glazing style!

The reason for firing upside down is not really to prevent collection of glaze inside the jar. The reason of firing upside down is to collect the heat during firing like in the traditionally firing of unglazed pots.

Poor quality and design it deserves to go into the past. I am disgusted that the potter stacking spacers causing defects and they continued without looking for a better way to improve quality, if that happens throw out tradition because it is not working and find a better way. Sanding the bottom would have improved some of the pieces, as in the one placed on the counter that wobbled. I would have felt ill to put a piece out like that for sale and let people know my hands were responsible for its existence.

if you had watched, they had a profitable business wholesale. these pots were amazing. the men are amazing. you aren't a potter you don't know....but those "defects" poor quality, is a traditional making method thousands of years old. Potters live in tradition and by it. to add and to change. just as they said at the end. I am a full time potter and teacher (70+ hours a week in a ceramics studio) trust me when i say this men aren't throwing beginner pots.
@isabelsolerhernandez10687 жыл бұрын
There is something in what you say, though you are too ferocious about it. However they are excellent throwers, and no "beginners" , and anyway, beginners often make charming pots which have lots of life. Infusing the clay with life is my idea of the potters´mission: there are some deadly perfect pots out there.. You also have to take into account that in Arab culture, of which this is a continuation (see pots in Almería museum, pots from Pechina 10th C AD), only God is perfect. The other factor is price. These people and their fathers made pots to avoid starvation, in the disastrous postwar economy of Franco, They were competing with plastic- though there wasn´t much of that as it had to be imported and there was no foreign currency to import with.
