SOME STUDENTS INVESTIGATE

Some students of the INSTITUCION EDUCATIVA LOS FUNDADORES have been motivated to investigate a little more about the ceramic of the region. It was a topic worked in class with the english teacher with the purpose of knowing the context and who showed this as an ancestral, economic and cultural activity. 

Pottery has been the center of domestic activites in some particular communities as Portachuelo. Mud was an element that the indigenous utilized for doing many figures as pots, lamps,pans, plates, casseroles, callanas, etc. In past time, a mine of mud was discovered in the place mentioned above, it is located in one of the four indigenous reservations of Riosucio Caldas. It is Cañamomo and Lomaprieta.

Here we can find to XIMENA TREJOS PINEDA and JUAN FELIPE RESTREPO, smart and dedicated students of eleventh grade, asking about the Mud's process and visiting the special place where all the pottery elements are carried to sell in the market every weekend.
