Fall Break 2008: Korond, Romania (Oct 24)




Korond (Corund) is a small town famous throughout Romania and Hungary for their traditional Transylvanian pottery.



During our stop, we were given a short tour of the factory where pieces are made and painted by hand. It was a small, intimate tour that felt more like peeking into someone's garage workshop than a "factory tour."
