Cerámica Fajalauza
Cerámica Fajalauza is a ceramics workshop in Granada where traditional handcrafting techniques are used to create painted pottery. The space displays kilns, tools, and different stages of the production process, from raw materials to finished painted pieces.
The Fajalauza style of ceramics developed in Granada during the 16th century, shaped by the region's Arab crafting traditions. The craft survived many social changes and remains active in this neighborhood today.
This ceramics workshop keeps alive a craft tradition that has been practiced in this neighborhood for centuries. You can watch as artisans paint the distinctive blue and green patterns by hand, a style that gives the area its visual character.
The workshop is easy to reach and located in the historic center, where you can comfortably explore several ceramics studios on foot. The best time to visit is in the morning when artisans are actively working and the space is less crowded.
Many visitors don't realize that the blue and green colors of this pottery come from natural pigments sourced from local materials. These color mixtures are made using secret family recipes that have been passed down through generations in some workshops.
