The exhibition, which runs until October 4th, features a collection of traditional island pottery, covering production from four historical centers: La Atalaya de Santa Brígida, Lugarejos, Tunte, and Hoya de Pineda in Gáldar.
Through this exhibition, Iván Quintana aims to highlight one of the most unique artisanal traditions in the history and popular culture of Gran Canaria. The display details the variety of pieces crafted by the female potters and their close connection to daily life in the island's midlands and mountain areas.
“"It is a collection of traditional Gran Canarian pottery pieces, with the typology of the four pottery centers of the island."
The primary goal of ‘The Hands That Made Pottery’ is to introduce the public to the various items these craftswomen made for daily life, reviving and promoting a heritage linked to the island's knowledge, tradition, and identity. The exhibition also emphasizes the importance of Hoya de Pineda as a historic pottery production center and recognizes the work of the women who kept this tradition alive for generations.
