Niñodaguia Pottery Workshop and Museum

The ''cacharreiros'' (potters) of Niñodaguia—also known as ''xarreiros'' or ''calleiros'' —maintained their traditional pottery trade thanks to the unique, abundant clay of Mount Barro, in Veigachá. The clay, with its high kaolin content, along with the temperatures which the pieces are subjected to in the kiln, give this pottery its colour, its lightness and the sound which distinguishes it from other types of pottery, making it more akin to porcelain.

Pots from Niñodaguia are pure alchemy: earth, water fire and air are transformed into art thanks to the ancestral knowledge of these potters, demiurges who, with their hands, release the material's spirit. The pots from Niñodaguia are pure alchemy: earth, water, fire and air are transformed into art using the ancient wisdom of the potters, divine creators whose hands release the soul of the material.

In the workshop-museum you can journey to the heart of pottery making, visit the ancient kilns, find out about the uses for their wares and discover the secrets of the fast wheel.
