https://www.godaddy.com/legal/agreements/trademark-copyright-infringement

Soap & Clay is a family owned business operating in Washington State, but started out online thanks to Mrs. Soap & Clay’s kickass brother and his amazing web design skills. The business was started as a tribute to Mrs. Soap & Clay’s grandmother, the OG maker in the family that cultivated everyone’s love for the DIY life. The studio/retail shop opened in 2017 on 6th Ave in Tacoma, and immediately began teaching soap, bath bomb, lotion, and scrub classes to the makers and maker enthusiasts of the PNW. In 2019, the pottery studio opened as well, making the soap shop a busy place full of artistic energy every minute of the day.

Mrs. Soap & Clay has been featured on Business Spotlight, New Day Northwest, and was awarded a coveted place on the South Sound’s 40 under 40 list in 2019, an award given to the most influential business people under the age of 40 each year. She cried when she walked up to the podium to accept the award. A lot.

Drawing from her chemistry background and her maker spirit, Mrs. Soap & Clay infuses her favorite things into her soapy designs and creates products that are fun to see, use, and learn to make. Stick around for this ride – she’ll take you on a great one.

Peacock Prints & Clay helped to make our first Christmas as a family of 4 so special! I’ll forever treasure the custom handprint ornaments of my girls. The ordering process was so easy and the grandparents absolutely loved the beautiful pieces that we gave them!

5 stars isn’t enough! These women are incredibly talented and so sweet! The pottery is AMAZING and their customer service is unlike any other. The process is very easy (even for dogs) and fun for kiddos! I have ordered 4 pieces now and every single one exceeded my expectations. It’s a great gift or the perfect item to gift to yourself. Thank you!!!

When my twin girls came home from the NICU we went straight to Peacock Prints and Clay and did multiple pieces of footprint and handprint pottery. Every morning when I drink my coffee out of my handprint mugs I am reminded of how tiny my babies once were. They are truly irreplaceable items to me and are so much more than just pieces of pottery.

Peacock Prints and Clay was such a great way to freeze a moment in time with our new baby. The beautifully crafted, glazed, handprints are a fixture on our mantle, and each time it catches our eye, it reminds us how much he’s grown, and all those baby-feels when he first came into our lives. Can’t wait to order another one for our newest addition on the way.

So in love with all of my pieces! We purchased a couple of ornaments and mugs prior to Christmas and I was so impressed with the quality and detail that I immediately ordered more. The customer service is also amazing! I will treasure these pieces forever and will be back every year as their little hands and feet grow. ❤️

Peacock Prints and Clay has become a favorite small business of ours to support! There’s just something so special about having our baby’s hand- and footprints showcased throughout our home (and our family member’s homes!), whether it be on our mugs as we sip our coffee (or wine!), or as we gaze at our ginger jars, vases and plaques that fill our home. We are so thankful for these memories and this business!

After my first order with Peacock Prints & Clay, I have ordered 4 more items! The quality is amazing and there is so much to choose from. My daughter has a terminal disease so these keepsake mean so much to me!

Thank you to my beautiful wife Elizabeth Lamb for the best Father’s Day present ever because this is so creative and thoughtful.

    A nice quality bud vase. I like the size, shape and weight of it. I ordered it in the color Black, and it looked like a true black shade in the photo online. But in person, the color is muted/faded. The vase I received looks charcoal gray. It’s cute and well made, but I wish it were a deeper black color.

Questions about your order?

Please if you have any problems with your order.

Returns and exchange details

Contact us within **3 days** if there is a problem with your order.

If your order arrives in a million pieces, don’t worry, we can help! The sad truth is, USPS is hard on packages. No matter how many layers of wrap we pack in, they always manage to break something now and then. If this happens to you, here’s what you do:

1. Immediately photograph the package and the broken piece(s).
2. Contact us ASAP to let us know about the mishap.
3. Keep the packaging AND broken pieces on hand (for insurance purposes).
4. Rest assured that a replacement will be on the way just as soon as possible.

All sales are final, but if you are truly unhappy with your order please contact us within 3 days and we will work something out. We love our customers and want you to be thrilled with your purchase!

***Due to the delicate nature of handmade ceramics, we CANNOT be responsible for broken pieces months down the line. Breakable things unfortunately sometimes break. Our pieces are made to be durable, but please use care. See the listing for care information specific to your piece, and remember that even though our pieces are dishwasher safe, handwashing is recommended for the longevity of your piece. When loading into the dishwasher, make sure your pieces are not going to bump into others during the cycle!

If your piece breaks within the first week, like the handle on a mug, it was likely damaged during shipping and we are happy to replace your mug in those instances. Forward along photos and we’ll have a replacement on its way as soon as possible!

Payment

CC + Paypal

Payment must be received before your item will ship.

Shipping

All *in-stock* orders will be shipped within 5 – 7 business days. Orders are shipped via USPS priority mail, and domestic orders generally arrive 4 days after shipping.

Any listing that’s Made-To-Order will take 2-3 weeks to ship, although we aim to get things shipped to you faster!
Orders are shipped via USPS priority mail, and domestic orders generally arrive 4 days after shipping.

If you would like to upgrade your shipping (RUSH, UPS or FedEx) please contact us before you make your purchase. We are happy to accommodate you if we can.

Additional policies and FAQs

Q: I don’t see the style/color that I want in the shop. Can I place a custom order?

A: Due to demand we are currently unable to fulfill custom order requests through Etsy.

Q: My ________ arrived in a million pieces! What now?!

A: We ship thousands of ceramic items a year that arrive safe and sound, but the unfortunate reality is that once in a while an item takes an extra rough journey to your home. We try to combat that reality by packing each item very throughly and thoughtfully. If you are one of the unlucky very few that has opened a box with a not-so-intact item in it, here’s what you do:

Contact us within **3 days** if there is a problem with your order.

1. Immediately photograph the package and the broken piece(s).
2. Contact us ASAP to let us know about the mishap.
3. Keep the packaging AND broken pieces on hand (for insurance purposes).
4. Rest assured that a replacement will be on the way just as soon as possible.

Q: Wholesale?

A: We work with a very limited number of lovely retailers. If you are interested in more information about opening a wholesale account, please email us at hello [!at] shoppaperandclay. com

Q: Are your glazes food safe?

A: But of course! All our glazes are crafted in-house and food safe. They’re also all a beautiful soft satin finish, except for the glossy Appaloosa items, which is great if you love to take photos of your food!

Q: Can I put my items in the dishwasher or microwave?

A: Short answer, yes. Longer answer, sort of! As long as you’re delicate in loading the dishwasher and make sure your pieces won’t bump anything during the cycle, your items are totally fine to be cleaned that way. Our regular dinnerware and mugs can definitely go in the microwave, however, any item with GOLD LUSTER detailing cannot go in the microwave and for its longevity should not go in the dishwasher.

This splendid exhibition will offer a rare glimpse of a major art form from the Hispanic World 1500–1800: polychrome sculpture. Building on the legacy which Archer M. Huntington left the museum, the institution has added to its holdings of this material so that today the HSM&L boasts the finest collection of these works outside Spain. Until recently, this vivid sculpture went largely unnoticed, but now it elicits enthusiastic responses. Even so, Gilded Figures is the first event in New York to feature this art form in the last 20 years. The over 20 sculptures exhibited will not only attest to the high level of artistic production, but they will also include major works by women artists and show how the stylistic conventions of Spain were adapted in the New World.

Gilded Figures will begin with late Gothic and early Renaissance works by the finest sculptors from Castile. Among these, a superb monumental relief of the Resurrection attributed to Gil de Siloe reveals the dazzling talent of those artists. How decisively Italian models shaped the work of following generations appears in the sixteenth-century reliquary busts by Juan de Juni. The Baroque period witnessed an impressive flowering in which figures like Pedro de Mena achieved effects of stunning naturalism as seen in his St. Acisclus. The exhibition will also draw attention to another consideration — the role of women artists — in a section of pieces by Luisa Roldán and Andrea de Mena. The first of these achieved spectacular success in her lifetime rising to the position of Royal Sculptor (escultora de cámara).

The last section of Gilded Figures will focus on sculpture from Latin America in this period, in works characterized by an impressive range of scale and emotion. A monumental sixteenth-century relief of Santiago matamoros (St. James the moorslayer) from Mexico reveals how Spanish models were transplanted and adapted to the needs of the Catholic church as it embarked on a campaign to convert the indigenous people. In addition to Mexico, Ecuador witnessed a flourishing of polychromed sculpture in which sculptors in Quito produced masterpieces. Painted with a vivid attention to detail, statues like the Virgin of Quito or St. Michael show the powerful effects these talented artists achieved. The exhibition concludes with perhaps the most dramatic display from this school: Caspicara’s Four Fates of Man. In these figures, the sculptor depicts a range of emotions with consummate skill and a delicate touch as part of a theological lesson to inspire people to persevere in their faith.

Gilded Figures: 18th-century Sculpture in the Real Audience de Quito 

Orland Hernandez-Ying, Curatorial Research Fellow

A presentation on the innovative iconographies of three particular sculptures from Ecuador covering issues such as indigenous predilection, angelic representations in art, santo-making techniques (carving, painting, gilding, encarnados, etc. ) and the ordenanzas. These examples will demonstrate how the extraordinary aesthetic quality of pious sculpture in the Real Audiencia de Quito was renown overseas during the Colonial Period with many works shipped to other American colonies as well as Spain.

Stories

On spring and autumn thaws or after long rains, we often swear that we have to “knead the clay”. The country roads become limp, pedestrians, cyclists, equestrians and even motorists try not to use dirt roads unless absolutely necessary, and even tractors do not feel comfortable everywhere. In fact, what we used to call clay in everyday life is most often loam, and not the heaviest.

print version
all stories

Clay is also found in the Moscow region, but this is a little different. For example, gray Jurassic clays are deposits of the ancient Jurassic sea. You can make utensils out of them, stoves were coated with these clays, bricks were and are made from them. By the way, the famous Gzhel porcelain is made from Jurassic clays, which are mined in the Gzhel region, and paleontology lovers find belemnites, ammonite fragments and other fossils in dumps.

First, let’s try to figure out the difference between clays and various loams, and then we’ll talk more about the latter.

Clay is a sedimentary rock consisting of fine clayey and silty (silty) particles. According to various classifications, the diameter of clay particles is < 0.005 mm, < 0.01 or < 0.001 mm. In any case, these are very small particles. For comparison, the grain size of medium-grained sand is from 0.5 to 0.25 mm. In the dry state, the clay is powdery, but it keeps well in a piece due to the intermolecular cohesive forces between the particles. When wet, clay is very plastic.

If you roll a “cord” in your hands from wet clay and roll it into a ring, then cracks should not appear on the ring. When rubbing in the hands, lumps of clay are difficult to crush, while the particles themselves are practically not felt on the fingers – they are so small.

Map of Quaternary deposits of the Moscow Region

Loams are loose sedimentary rocks, consisting of a mixture of clay (pelitic), silty (silty) and sandy (psammitic) particles in various proportions with a significant proportion of clay particles (10-30%). Even Vladimir Ivanovich Dal defined loam as “soil with a considerable admixture of clay.” In addition, larger clasts, including boulders and blocks, may be present in loams.

There are several classifications of loams, but for utilitarian needs, for example, for characterizing soils, it is convenient to subdivide them into heavy, medium and light.

Heavy loam is a plastic rock with a high content of clay particles (about 30%). The cord, rolled from heavy loam, folds into a ring, but at the same time it cracks. In a dry state, a piece of heavy loam is almost impossible to break in the hand and extremely difficult to dig. There are relatively few heavy loams in the Moscow region and in general this is not the most common breed.

Cord method: 1 – clay, 2 – heavy loam, 3 – medium loam, 4 – light loam

But the average loam is quite widespread. Usually it is his amateur gardeners, and simply the inhabitants of the middle lane, who in everyday life call “clay”. And not smart. This is indeed a rather heavy soil that is not easy to work, especially in very wet or very dry conditions. Medium loam has much less plasticity and greater friability than heavy loam. When wet, a cord can be rolled from medium loam, but if you try to roll it into a ring, it will fall apart into separate pieces.

Light loam contains a relatively small amount of clay particles and quite a lot of sand. It is impossible to roll a cord from moistened light loam without breaking, and even more so, to roll it into a ring. But you can roll a ball out of it.

For the central zone of the European part of Russia, including the Moscow region, loams are very common rocks. Where did they come from?

Basically, the glacier “made us friends” with them, and not just one, although loams can have other origins. In the Moscow region, there are glacial (moraine), water-glacial (fluvioglacial), lacustrine-marsh and mantle loams.

The largest area is occupied by cover loams, which corresponds to their name. The origin of these loams is still debatable, but in general they coincide with the area of ​​distribution of glacial and water-glacial deposits. Covering loams are usually yellow-brown in color, practically do not contain coarse particles (gravel, pebbles, and even more boulders), their thickness in the interfluves is 1.5-3 m, and on slopes can reach 8-10 m. moraines or hydroglacial deposits. But the moraine is the result of the action of glaciers. Moreover, our moraine loams are the result of a specific integumentary glaciation, similar to what is now in Antarctica and Greenland.

Moraine boulders

During the Quaternary period, the territory of the Moscow region was subjected to several glaciations. The oldest one, the Okskoe (470–420 thousand years ago), left practically no traces. It is believed that the Oka deposits were absorbed and reworked by the Dnieper glacier (300-250 thousand years ago) – the most powerful and advanced farthest to the south. It is believed that during its maximum distribution, the thickness of the ice in our latitudes could be a kilometer or even more. Just try to imagine these scales! Moreover, a glacier is not a piece of ice that quietly lies on the ground. He lives his mysterious and rather intense life.

In order to orient oneself in these hundreds of thousands of years, one can recall that the most ancient dating of our distant and secondary ancestors of the Neanderthals (or rather, Proneanderthals) is about 500 thousand years ago.

The next glaciation, which in many respects formed the frame of the modern relief of a significant part of the Moscow region, is called Moscow (170-125 thousand years ago). Various researchers draw its exact boundaries somewhat differently, but in general the glacier stopped in the Moscow region, which divided the Moscow region into two large parts. Almost everything to the north-west of Moscow was formed by glacial deposits of Moscow age, but to the south-east of the city the picture is more variegated – there are outcrops of the more ancient Dnieper moraine (south of the Moscow region), various and uneven-aged water-glacial (fluvioglacial) deposits , sediments of near-glacial lakes, etc.

The time of the Moscow glaciation can be called “the time of the Neanderthals” – 150-130 years ago they already formed as a species and populated Central and Southern Europe. By the way, the Neanderthals never reached our latitudes, apparently it turned out to be a bit cold and far away.

In general, if you look at the geological map of the Moscow region, then heavy loamy soils prevail in the northwest and south, and lighter, sandy loamy soils prevail in the southwest, although there are a number of exceptions.

There was another glaciation – Valdai with two maxima about 70 and about 20 thousand years ago, but it never reached the Moscow region directly, although its fluvioglacial deposits and deposits of glacial lakes largely form the relief of the Volga lowland. It finally ended about 11 thousand years ago.

Moraine loam in a quarry

The last glaciation is not only the time of the Neanderthals, but also the time of people. About 40 thousand years ago, our ancestors settled almost all of Eurasia, and at the same time, about 40 thousand years ago, the Neanderthals disappeared. According to modern data, they not only lived for some time in the same territories, but even sometimes met.

There are few Paleolithic sites in the Moscow region, the most famous of them is Zaraiskaya. Previously, it was believed that the oldest remains date back to 24-17 thousand years ago, but according to modern rechecked data, it turns out to be about 32 thousand years ago.

By the way, the penetration of man into North America about 15 thousand years ago is also associated with glaciation. Due to the fact that the ice sheets connected huge masses of water, the level of the World Ocean was noticeably lower than the modern one, and on the site of the Bering Strait there was land – Beringia.

But back from anthropology to geology.

Unlike cover loams, moraine (glacial deposits) almost always contains coarse clastic material, up to boulders. Typically, a moraine is an inhomogeneous unsorted mixture of clay, pelitic, sandy materials and larger fragments up to blocks.

By the way, most of the famous “stones” like the Blue Stone of Lake Pleshcheyevo were brought by glaciers. Many of them have traveled over 1000 kilometers from Karelia, Finland or the Kola Peninsula.

Moraine relief, Volokolamsk district

As already mentioned, on the territory of the Moscow region there are two moraines: Dnieper and Moscow. The older Dnieper moraine is tobacco-colored, very dense, contains quite a lot of coarse clastic material and often carbonate. That is, if you drop acid on it, it will “hiss”. The Dnieper moraine comes to the surface mainly in the south of the Moscow region, and in the northwest it is blocked by the Moscow moraine.

Moscow moraine consists of reddish-brown loam with boulders. It is ancient glacial deposits that form the hills of the north-west of the Moscow region, including the Klinsko-Dmitrovskaya ridge, part of which runs along the north of the Moscow region.

Therefore, the next time you find yourself in a muddy road, don’t be angry with the “clay”. After all, this is either a mysterious cover loam, or traces of ancient glaciers, when huge ice massifs moved across our native expanses, melted and grew again. Turbulent streams arose and disappeared, lakes unprecedented now were overflowing at the edge of glaciers … Just try to imagine all this!

Thermal water and clay | GB Hotels Abano Terme

Thermal water: an elixir of health

Numerous studies have confirmed the rain origin of the mineral water used in the thermal spas of the GB Thermae hotels.

Water begins its journey in the north of Veneto, between the Lessini mountains and the Venetian Alps. The precipitation that falls in this area percolates through the rock; the journey underground, about 80 kilometers long, takes more than 30 years; during this time, the water is enriched with heat, minerals and trace elements before reaching the surface in the area of ​​the Euganean Hills.

Thermal spring

The thermal water of our springs comes to the surface at a temperature of about 86°C. The water is classified as hyperthermal saline iodine-bromine. Its special chemical-physical composition allows it to have a relaxing, draining and analgesic effect on the muscles. This effect is felt after the first dive.

After pre-cooling, water is supplied to the pools of each hotel and used for inhalation treatments. Water is also an important component of thermal mud and the exclusive cosmetic line Borile Experience.

Thermal clay

The solid component that we combine with thermal water to produce thermal mud is clay soil rich in organic humus. We collect clay from the bottom of some small thermal lakes in the Euganean Regional Park.

How thermal mud is born

Clay is placed in special tanks into which a continuous flow of thermal water is supplied.

By following a protocol that regulates measures and timing, ideal conditions are created for the development of a living plant component formed by certain families of thermophilic algae and cyanobacteria. It is they who, after about two months, create a real natural medicine.

Thermal water is first supplied at a natural temperature of 86°C. This high temperature is very helpful in neutralizing the bacteria present in the clay.

It is then cooled down to a constant temperature of 40°C: a culture medium is created in which sunlight and the nitrogen contained in the water create ideal conditions for the growth of algae. In this way, the clay is transformed into a living element, rich in proteins and fats, ready for therapeutic use.

Each GB Hotels Thermal Spa has its own thermal mud maturation facility.

DOC Thermal Mud: natural preparation, no chemical additives

The large amount of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant substances released by the algae during the maturation phase transforms the thermal mud into a herbal remedy.

In particular, the anti-inflammatory action has been tested and confirmed by the University of Padua and patented at the European level (Patent 05100038). The action of mud is superior to the action of medical preparations of the same direction and has practically no side effects.

Numerous scientific studies have revealed the therapeutic effect of matured DOC thermal mud in slowing down the development of numerous pathologies of the musculoskeletal and musculoskeletal systems.

How to benefit from thermal mud

By nature, our skin is impervious to water. But not for oil.

That’s why cosmetic creams have a fat base – for better penetration into the skin.

We have applied the same concept to our thermal mud, enriching it with oily substances, algae, whose beneficial substances are able to be absorbed through the skin and reach the body.

The fat content of our thermal mud is completely natural, thanks to phytoactive algae that develops during the two-month process of “maturation” of the clay in contact with thermal water.

Thermal mud contains a high percentage of active substances. The body, wrapped in such a mud, absorbs anti-inflammatory and antioxidant substances due to the oily texture that the thermal algae imparts to the mud.

Totally natural beneficial effect: 0% chemicals, water and clay 0 km.

Squad Operator: Thermal Mud Master

Thermal mud is a living element that must be constantly kept alive and active.

The task of controlling and caring for the thermal mud is carried out by the operator following the Abano Terme DOP Thermal Mud protocol.

The operator is a true master of thermal mud.

He checks daily:

  • – thermal mud maturation
  • – temperature, inflow and recirculation of water
  • – algae growth process

Thermal mud is mixed by hand to revive the algae, which is its most valuable component. He, like a baker, deals with “sourdough”.

The task of the operator is also to trace the thermal mud all the way from the maturation tanks to the direct delivery to the spa. The operator fills the buckets with mature mud for later use. Each bucket weighs about 25 kg and is delivered directly to the treatment rooms.

On average, two buckets are needed per person for one mud treatment.

The operator checks the temperature of the mixture: before use, it must be cooled so that it can then be applied to the human body at a temperature of about 42-45°C, depending on the doctor’s prescription.

At this point, the thermal mud is ready to release its beneficial properties, thanks to the natural ingredients it contains and the operator’s constant attention to the process, which keeps it valuable and alive.

Stone and Clay Lesson

clay toys, coloring finished products,
examining pottery.


Course of the lesson

Educator. Guys I know what you can do
good riddles. Try to guess
my riddle.

Now I’m in a cage, then in a line
Write them down. (Notebook)


Educator. What is a notebook for? And you
Do you know how and on what primitive people wrote? (Sayings
children.) Today we will go to the past and
let’s talk about how they wrote many, many years ago.
how can we go to the past? I suggest
travel back in time in a time machine. (Children
“pass through” the hoop.)

Presentation.

Teacher’s story. The most ancient
the writings that have come down to us are written in stone. it
cave drawings. Primitive people lived in
stone caves. Slide 1.2. Scientists have found a lot
caves, the walls of which are covered with drawings. There were
drawn mammoths, deer, buffaloes, primitive
hunters with spears, arrows, stone axes.
People did not know how to write then, but they already knew how to draw.
Slide 3.4 , 5 People reflected in the drawings
the events of your life. Some drawings were even
painted – paints were obtained from pounded
colored stones, used soot, which they took
in the fire. For thousands of years, rock paintings have replaced
ancient man writing. Scientists have found
stone pillars covered with many dashes. Slide
6. They guessed that there was a letter in front of them, a letter
from past. Scientists have learned to understand languages
long-disappeared peoples. Slide 7.

After reading everything that was carved on stone
pillars, they established that there were once great
states. Cities, palaces were built here,
temples. Then came warriors from another
states and destroyed these cities. On the
new cities were built on the ruins. About all this
told us stone pillars, dotted
written signs. The signs are preserved
pillars because they were carved in stone
chisel. The lines cut into the stone are the most
durable letter.


Educator. Guys, do you think it’s easy
was written on stone? Why?


Educator. Now I offer you
go to our laboratory and examine and
compare stones and clay.


Educator. What do you think is stronger? (Answers
children.) Is it possible to change the form of the proposed
natural materials? (Educator offers
press stone, clay.)

Educator. Where is the finger hole?
What clay? (Soft. ) What stone? (Solid.)
 Can the stone be scratched? Is it possible
scratch with a fingernail? Let’s try to scratch
coin stone. Is there a trace left? Is it easy
scratch a rock? (The stone is strong, it is not easy to
scratch.) Was it easy for ancient people to write
on the stone?

The finest jugs
Made from ordinary clay
Rasul Gamzatov

Pottery was traditionally done by women. The ban on the participation of men to sit down at the potter’s wheel in order to pull out a bowl or a tall jug from a lump of clay was violated by Abakar Gazimagomedov.

And today he is the head of the ceramic workshop: with his enthusiasm and love for ancient art, together with ten craftswomen, he did not allow during the general crisis 1990s in the country to disappear this unique craft. In the cold room of the old ceramic workshop, they continued to create beauty from 15 types of clay, unique in its quality, which was mined right there hundreds of meters towards the large valley of the village.

Abakar Kadyrovich is grateful to the Republican House of Folk Art for significant help and support in difficult times by publishing booklets, albums, telling about the skill of potters from Balkhar, popularizing their art, organizing master classes, publishing in the media materials about the creative fate of the wonderful wizards of the ancient craft.

In this craft the elements of the Earth have merged, even the irreconcilable ones – water, fire, clay. And they were united by the skill of Balkhar masters, who are constantly looking for new solutions in the production of their products, preserving traditions, enriching this ancient art. The collection of clay gizmos is replenished with sculptures of both large and small forms. Unknown little animals, modern figurines of cartoon characters, whistles and other products for the amusement of children and visiting tourists evoke tenderness, a smile: each of them has humor, the subtle soul of a master who knows how to convey the character of the Balkharians.

“The value of our ceramics is not only in beauty, but also in utility,” explains Abakar Gazimagomedov, laureate of the “Soul of Dagestan” Prize of the Government of the Republic of Dagestan. Water, grain, flour, and other foodstuffs are better stored in Balkhara jugs, because the clay breathes through pores that are not clogged with glaze. “Live” jugs do not allow the contents in them to deteriorate. This is facilitated by clay, unique in its composition, from which ceramics are obtained thin, sonorous, durable. Among potters there is a term “correct clay”. So: Balkhar clay is from the category of good, correct. “This is the power of Balkhar,” the famous potter proudly says.

His large tall jugs, on the surface of which stylized auls with their everyday scenes on mountain streets, weaving up the humpbacked “slope” of an earthen vessel, arouse genuine interest among visitors to exhibitions, competitions, in which Abakar, a hereditary Balkharian member of the Union of Artists of Russia, is a member of the Union of Artists of Russia Kadyrovich Gazimagomedov. Visitors to the large-scale events “Craftsman’s Caucasus”, “Culture of Youth”, “Metochion”, “Springs of Dagestan” marvel at his skill. The work of the potter is also admired by foreign guests of the international festivals “Highlanders”, “Caspian – the coast of friendship”, the exhibition “Ladya”, held under the auspices of the Association “Folk Crafts of Russia” in Moscow.

One of the main objectives of the International Festival Derbent: 2000 Years at the Crossroads of Cultures, supported by the Russkiy Mir Foundation, was to present the world with the multicolored Russian culture. A vivid demonstration of the fulfillment of this task was an international action – a trip of festival participants from other regions of Russia and abroad to the village of Balkhar potters hidden in the mountains of Dagestan. It is not easy to get to it along the road winding between rocks and gorges. But all this was forgotten as soon as the guests entered this amazing corner of the Caucasus, where people live in harmony with nature. The guests had heard a lot about the hospitality of the locals, but what they saw literally touched them. From the first minutes of their stay in the famous center of folk crafts, representatives of Kazakhstan, Estonia, Belarus, Abkhazia, Khakassia, Tatarstan, the Moscow region, Moscow felt like those who had been waiting here for a long time.

Head of pottery production A graduate of the Dagestan Art College named after. M. Dzhemal, State Academy of Life and Services, together with his colleagues, was a participant in the round table “Preservation and development of art crafts: successful practices and problems”, where he talked about how the traditions of making ceramics are preserved. Not limited to detailed information and demonstration of products, he showed the process of their creation worked out over the years – from the preparation of clay from its deposit on the outskirts of Balkhara to the firing of vessels of various sizes and a charming small sculpture.

Today it is obvious that the art of the Gazimagomedovs is taking on a long-term existence. Khadijat Kuramagomedova, the granddaughter of Abakar Kadyrovich, spends all her school holidays in Balkhar at the potter’s wheel, learning the family craft, learning the secrets of her grandfather, the teacher, and wishing to become a craftswoman. She has many like-minded people who strive to comprehend the pottery of the Balkharians so that the circle does not stop, the endless movement of which was launched in ancient times by the highlanders of Dagestan.

Abakar Kadyrovich, seeing the keen interest in this craft of young Balkharians, sincerely believes that clay products will be used not only in rural life, but also as decor items in modern design solutions.
