The mayor of Tourism and Crafts, Gelen Delgado has reported that next Saturday, August 23, will begin a series of activities for associations, organizations and socially disadvantaged groups, to bring their inclusion and participation in the culture of Talavera.

These activities will begin with painting workshops for young people at risk of exclusion, which along with other activities throughout these weeks are aimed at groups such as victims of gender violence, immigrants with integration difficulties, minimum income, addiction and behavioral problems, minors under the care of official agencies, disability, etc ….

These activities will take the form of workshops, training sessions, guided tours of the Talavera Ceramics Route and the Ruiz de Luna Museum, which form an important part of the traces of ceramics in our city.

In this first painting workshop they will be offered an approach to traditional decorative ceramic techniques by ceramists of the city, where they can learn about the process, the peculiarities and above all value the work they do from the artisan workshops.

These activities are part of the CeramiTUR program, promoted by the Spanish Association of Cities of Ceramics and coordinated locally by the City Council of Talavera de la Reina, through the Department of Crafts and Tourism, which aims to turn the ceramic heritage into a lively, structured and accessible tourist experience, encouraging citizen participation and pride in Talavera ceramics.
