Jupânești - Potters Home

Sixty years ago, each household from Jupâneşti a village administered by Făget - had one or two potters. The village of Jupâneşti, located in Vădanei Valley, was a famous pottery centre, given the local supply of quartz sand and adequate clay. Nowadays, the village, regarded as the last active pottery center in Timiş county, is harbouring only two elders, experts in the art of pottery: Trandafir Velcu and Gheorghe Mestecănean. The tradition may get the chance to be continued thanks to the potter Marin Barbos, who manages the pottery center for children from Jupâneşti, Tomeşti and Coşeviţa.
