If you are passionate about history and craftsmanship, you cannot miss this fascinating look at the ceramics of Cangas del Narcea. It is a unique opportunity to discover how a centuries-old tradition has managed to survive by adapting to the times, from the most classic pieces to the most current innovations. 🏺
The exhibition is held at the Muséu del Pueblu d’Asturies and will be open to the public from April 14, 2026 to November 30, 2026.
A journey through tradition
The exhibition brings together 95 pieces that narrate the evolution of pottery from the 18th century to the present day. As Llamas del Mouro is the only pottery center that survives in Asturias, this collection takes on special value for understanding our cultural identity.
You will be able to enjoy:
- Traditional forms of the xarreiros of Llamas del Mouro, such as xarros, pots, tarreñas and cheese molds.
- Pieces that emerged from the new demands of the 20th century, such as flowerpots, piggy banks and decorative objects.
- Innovative creations by Raúl Mouro, National Craft Award winner in 2024.
- A collection of botijos from 1966 decorated by Asturian artists such as Rovés, Díaz de Orosia, Elías García Benavides, Marolo and Kiker. 🎨
