Pottery Heritage Cultural Day Trip – RY Marketplace

Marketplace

Description
You will feel like a true artisan experiencing the casting technique in plaster molds, used in El Carmen de Viboral for the elaboration of ceramic pieces. They are unique to the region and the world. No two ceramic pieces are the same, as everything is uniquely handmade since the 1880s. 

The methodology implemented by the artisans; between clay, brushes and pigments allows the apprentice to design their own patterns, painting their own plates and mugs as they discover each of us have innate artistic abilities.

You will polish and decorate two items: a cup size mug and also a 21cm (8.5 Inches) diameter bisque plate in the local underglaze technique with your personalized design. You get to keep the two unique pieces

It is of the utmost importance for Colombia to keep alive the traditions that define the culture of our country. Therefore, we consider that keeping these elements in the collective imagination and under protection is an effort that demands a commitment from all of us (locals and visitors).

Please keep in mind, we will automatically refund bookings that are disrupted by extreme weather conditions, last minute cancellations from our suppliers or the minimum number is not met by the booking deadline.

What happens if my booking is changed/cancelled due to weather?

We’ll control the weather. Just kidding! Remote Year can’t control the weather or many other factors that go into planning events. In the event of a change due to weather, the City Manager will do their best to provide a make-up option. Due to last minute changes and busy monthly schedules, we cannot guarantee it works for everyone but we’ll do our best! If you are not able to attend the make-up date(s), we will fully refund your booking.

I have a discount or gift code, can I use it to complete my purchase?

Yes, once you add your item to your cart and check out, you will be able to input the code before completing the purchase. If you need help finding your code, please double check your inbox. You received an email from Marketplace with the code.

Can I book for a friend / family member?

Yes! We welcome your friends and family coming to visit you while you travel the world. Please refer to our Friends and Family policy: Friends & Family (visitors of active Remotes and active Citizens) may be granted access to private Remote Year events, Local Experiences, Side Trips, Community Events, Local Amenity and Services at an extra cost determined by the Marketplace or City Team.
