Barcelos Pottery Route
Pottery, for historical reasons, is reflected more in the northeastern part of the municipality of Barcelos, land rich in water and clay. The art around the clay modelled in social, cultural and economic terms all this territory that extends to the current municipality of Vila Verde. On the other hand, the link of the ceramic activity to the traditional and old weekly fair, emphasizes even more the historical and cultural importance of this art.
We suggest that you go against the traditional workshops where work on the wheel and wood-fired ovens mark the production process. “Put” your hands on the clay and see how to model the pitchforks, pitchers, pots, mugs, coffee makers, dishes, bowls, baking platters, amphorae, among many other pieces that are known as ” Barcelos Crockery “.
