We took a trip out to Agost, a small town near Alicante. This town is known worldwide for its excellent handcrafted pottery.

We went to a family operated pottery facility which has been in the same family for two hundred years. They provided us with a tour throughout their entire process of making handmade pottery.

We started outside and the guide explained how they select the soil, clean and treat it in preparation to make it into clay.

We then headed inside the factory to see the next stages of the pottery being created.

We went into a work area where we watched a potterer create pottery from clay.

We enjoyed the tour and learning about the art of pottery making. We then visited the showroom where there was some very neat handcrafted pottery.

There is definitely an art to making pottery and it was a very interesting process.
