Ceramics are part of a living tradition that blends artisanal skill with industrial know-how. In Caldas da Rainha, a city renowned for its creativity and quality, visitors can discover how raw clay is turned into beautiful, enduring pieces. Discover the main steps of the process of clay transformation: 1. Shape: The clay is shaped by hand, on a wheel, or using a mould to create the desired form. 2. Dry: The piece is left to air dry, removing moisture before the first firing. 3. Fire: The ceramic is fired in a kiln at high temperatures to gain strength and prepares it for finishing. 4. Glaze: A glaze is applied for colour, shine, and waterproofing, followed by a second firing to seal it. Curious fact: In Caldas da Rainha, ceramic production has been part of the city's identity for centuries - and its influence is visible in ceramic elements throughout the town. #VisitPortugal #Portugal #Ceramics
