Thursday, May 24, at 18:00, Imbold Arts & Crafts invites you to the launch of the first shop of the last factory of painted stoves in Romania.
"Terracotta Mediaș" was founded 112 years ago and is the last factory of hand-painted stoves in Romania. Since 1906, each tile has been cast, finished, glazed and painted by hand.
The Terracotta Pop-Up at Acuarela is developed for the community of designers and architects for whom the road to Mediaș may sometimes be is too long. (although the visit to the factory really worth the effort)
The shop will permanently exhibit about 80 models from the factory archives, custom-made pieces signed by the sculptor Iulia Costescu for "Viscri 32 Vis de Viscri" and "Radio Guerrilla" and 2 painted stoves.
The event will also host a demonstration of tiles hand-pressing using the same 112-year old recipe of clay and a workshop of painting miniature terracotta replicas.
May 24: Terracotta pop-up at Acuarela: 40 Polona Street.
