This is a display of Chorotega pottery at a store in "downtown" Tamarindo. It is a store and studio where you can receive lessons and assistance on how to make pottery and then make your own pottery. I have shown the gallery and store in the past, which you can see under the "Chorotega pottery" index label in the right margin.
I am sure these pots were made by the instructors and not by the students. Chorotega pottery is a tradition that dates back to pre-Columbian times, and is one of the few Native American traditions that survive in Costa Rica today.
This week we have photos of Lake Nicaragua posted on our
Viva la Voyage travel photo site.
Interesting patterns on the pottery, many of them from the natural world.
ReplyDeleteThere are some beautiful pieces here.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely. I think that would be a relaxing hobby to take up.
ReplyDeleteLovely work, it looks a little like some of the Aboriginal style Dave.
