  • Indeed, there is a lot of ancient pottery brought to the country by traders, the pottery subject of my video is a different case, that of the trades coming to the Philippines. The family that still owns the pottery introduced their technique in Vigan sometime in the 18th Century,

  • do you mind telling me the info/title of this piece/music.....i'll appreciate it so much...thanks

  • It is a Sapnish classic, Asturias by Albeniz in a guitar version. You may find a lot of renditions of the piece in Youtube also. By the way, not coincidentally, I hail from the Spanish province.

  • Was this behind the 'tourist shops' area?

  • I don't know Vigan that well, but RG Jars is southwest of Plaza Salcedo almost due west of the new public market.

  • It's beyond me how in Asia they can do pottery with their hands so far from the center of their bodies and not break their back.

  • Thanks for your comment, it is gratifying knowing that i get some viewers and that they are interested enough to comment. I neve thought on the angle of back straining while throwing clay, intrigued as I am, I'd like to se some views on it.

  • Impresionante. Artistas de verdad.

  • well done.

  • nice....

  • the pottery in the Philippines are adopted from CHinese and Japanese,

  • i love the background music...tempted to put on a baro't-saya and walk along the rice fields....and listen to sweet sound created by the bamboo trees/leaves as it sway and dances with the Hanging (wind)Amihan in the late afternoon.....hmmmm it's like experiencing a piece of what they called PARAISO....

  • Honestly, but I don't know Vigan that well either, so I don't know what part you're talking about. I'm so sorry. However, i really appreciate that you responded. Thank you. :)
