Alfar School is a project whose objective is that tourists, no matter their age, can finish their visit to this place with a general knowledge about the world of pottery and ceramics. Moreover, it attemps to present the history and pottery tradition of the City of La Rambla.
It also tries to transmit the enormous sacrifice by pottery artisans to keep standing their tradition.
In the cozy facilities located at the entrance of the industrial estate Los Alfares, in the main access to La Rambla, Carmen del Río is able to unleash the creative abilities of their students, mainly schoolchildren.
“People who visit Alfar School leave us enchanted and, indeed, all children tell us that when they are older, they want to be potters. Moreover, it is a very educational activity because it allows a live and direct demonstration on process and how to make the typical jugs of La Rambla.” Carmen says proudly, whose love for mud and clay runs in the family because her grandparents initiated an activity that directly and indirectly generates about 200 jobs in the village.
Carmen del Río doesn’t stop proposing initiatives, so she has the support of Andalucía Emprende, which has advised her on the development of her project and her own website, which you can see here.
