Pomaire is a small town in Chile that specializes in pottery using terra cotta clay. The name of this technique in Spanish is alfarería, which is basically ceramic art.
In Pomaire, generations of families have dedicated their entire lives to ceramic art using various techniques, exclusively hand made. Since the crafts are elaborated with clay extracted from the same sector, it is considered one of a kind in Chile. This is why terra cotta clay is very cheap and safe. Children can play with it with no danger of "cooking" their creation since it is air-dry, and it can be easily reuse adding water to the clay.
Food is very popular in Pomaire, it is so good that I could write another post about it, and still not cover everything. This time I will just say that empanadas and pastel de choclo are my favorites ones.
The picture below shows different products made with terra cotta. They really add a touch of authenticity to my kitchen. Guests are curious about them, especially for "real piggy bank" because you really have to break it in order to get your money.
It was nice surprise to find the two little pigs from the picture in a store close to my house. I could't believe that I was holding two chanchitos made out of terra cotta from Chile. Of course I got a couple since the believe is they bring good luck.
