Toledo, España - Cerámica

Difficulty: Beginner

Spain

Juan pinta su cerámica con un pincel y óxido de manganeso. Antes los artesanos lo hacían usando delgados hilos que remojaban en cera y por esto, nos explica Juan, él sigue llamando a la técnica que usa “de cuerda seca”, misma que es de origen persa pero que tiene muchos años de ser usada en España. Nota que también nos dice que su técnica es de altorelieve en oposición al bajorelieve.
