Abstract: Nisa quartz inlaid pottery exists nowadays in Portugal, only in Nisa, in Alto
Alentejo, Portugal, and its main distinguishing feature, is the task performed by women
called "pedradeiras", that by inlaying small white quartz stones in the clay, draw motifs
based on the flora, fauna and local mystic symbolism. Today only three potters, with their
wives, remain working. The finding that there are no new interested in learning or developing
this technique, confirms the risk of extinction of this material culture.
In order to contribute to safeguarding the memory of this cultural heritage, a workshop was
developed in June 2013 through a participatory and collaborative methodology. The
initiative integrated designers and students, together with the artisans, allowing everyone to
have a direct impact on the workshop. What we intend to present, is the result of this action
on the ground, providing information about its methodology, through an anthropological and
ethnographic perspective.
