Within the framework of the CARPET project of the Three Cultures Foundation, the designer and potter Marco Terranova, will carry out a study on the connections and survival of traditional Andalusian ceramics and the current ceramics of Fez.
Terranova, of Italian origin although resident in Mairena del Aljarafe (Seville), comes from a second-generation family of ceramists. He has worked in Italy, Greece and Spain and has done outstanding work in the design, restoration and execution of works such as the Historic Park designed by Jean Claude Nicolas Forestier, the historic church of El Salvador in Seville and the Dome of the Cathedral of Cadiz.
In 2017 he founded the pottery and ceramics workshop Land of Sevilleafter years of research in design and production since his participation in the ceramic workshop Tejar del Moro, a project promoted by the Junta de Andalucía to recover the ceramic tradition in Seville.
The CARPET (Craft Art and People Together) project belongs to the Creative Europe programme and is financially supported by European funds for the development of activities. This initiative, which is led by the Fundación Tres Culturas, has other partners such as CEARTEin Portugal, CREATIVE KERNOW in the UK and the APDN in Morocco.
