DESCRIPCIÓN
In the Alambuela community lives Carmen Urku, 80 years old, who from a young age learned the secrets of pottery from her mother. This ancestral knowledge and the spiritual connection that this craft represents live on and are maintained by the hand of this woman in the Cotacachi canton (Imbabura).
Pottery is the craft of being able to transform clay into utilitarian ceramics. In Cotacachi there are archaeological remains of the manifestation of this art from about 3,000 years BC, which is the time of the construction of the tolas of the Kara or Karanki culture, according to Lenin Alvear, director of the Museum of Cultures.
