CRAFTWORK Information |
Clay, iron and esparto
Ubeda has been one of the most important cities for the production
of ceramic and pottery ware. The quarter of San Millan has for centuries,
been a meeting point for the craftsmen who work with clay. There,
in the Arabic ovens, large earthen jars, vases, plates, jars, pitchers
and other decorative objects are fired. Bailen possesses a prosperous
ceramic industry.
Andujar has many craftsmen of azulejeria (decorative tiles) who also
model such congenial objects such as the pilgrims' whistles. In the
neighbouring locality of Marmolejo there are still some guitar makers
or luthiers working today. They continue the tradition, producing
flamenco guitars which are in great demand by virtuosos of this traditional
Andalusian instrument. Mancha Real possesses an important furniture
industry. Esparto is very prestigious in Los Villares and other villages
in the region of El Condado. Decorative pieces are made with cork
in the Sierra de Segura. Some villages in the region of Cazorla carve
auxiliary furniture in olive wood.
Torredonjimeno still has workshops dedicated to ironworks, and the
forging of iron objects. In Alcala Real the professions related to
embroidery have regained new importance. Fine textile craftwork is
also prodigious in villages such as Linares. Moreover, in Jaen, there
are studios specializing in painting with a strong regional style.
