Sorin Giubega

With a long family history of potters, Sorin Giubega has been awarded the honorary title of Living Human Treasure by the Romanian Ministry of Culture. Sorin, together with his wife Marieta, has been carrying forward the traditions and working methods as inherited from his ancestors, without deviating from traditional techniques and dyes. He insists the 'blue of Horezu' has been used in the local pottery since time immemorial, several pieces decorated with blue inherited from his grandparents proving his point.
