Iorga, Horezu
History
Two bright red roosters adorn the facade of this house where Iorga lives, works, sells his creations and also gives ceramics classes.
On the walls of the main room, where there are a multitude of plates with very pronounced designs, a white one decorated with characters immediately catches our attention.
Between simplicity and tradition.
HOREZU
Horezu is a village bringing together a community of about fifty craftsmen who themselves make traditional ceramics using methods dating back more than three hundred years. The use of ox horn and a feather to enamel the pieces is an illustration of this.
In 2012, Horezu pottery was recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
