Black Pottery Workshop in La Chamba
Meet at 9 am on Carrera 6 to explore aspects of Colombian indigenous culture. The journey begins with a stop in El Espinal for breakfast, followed by arrival in La Chamba, noted for its artisan tradition dating back to the Yoropogos Indians, who work with black clay to create pots, vessels, figurines, and utensils.
At 10 am, visit an artisan center to learn about the processes of making black ceramic objects and discover popular clay figurines, including the Mohán, which depicts a seated man smoking tobacco.
Participants will then demonstrate their pottery skills, donning aprons to try modeling black ceramic figures. Experience the role of an artisan for a day.
After the workshop, enjoy a walk along the banks of the Magdalena River, where clay is extracted. A traditional lunch will be provided at a local farm, followed by free time in the swimming pool.
Return to Ibagué, with drop-off at the meeting point around 6 pm.
