Navarrete
From the time of the Bronze Age we can find references to pottery in the village of Navarrete. But in the last century, the pottery production has acquired an industrial tone, and just a very few people still maintain the tradition of craftsmanship. The most outstanding example is Antonio Naharro. Unlike other workshops, Antonio currently retains a totally manual potter’s wheel based work, without introducing any kind of mechanization or industrialization.
Antonio agreed to use my machine for mixing different kinds of clay: using 70% of local clay plus another 30% of imported clay to add some strength to the final pieces, the mix was used to produce diverse ceramic objects. This encounter became an exceptional occasion to learn about this endangered trade.
