Dr. Eliot SOREL informed us a few days ago that the work of Romanian potters (artisans in Horezu) was highlighted in an article (entitled “When Traditions Meet Trends”) that appeared in the prestigious New York Times on Sunday, June 4, 2o23 (https://www.sanabuna.ro/rau-rector-costel-negricea-invited-by-the-distinguished-professor-eliot-sorel-at-cosmos-club-washington-d-c-june-2023/ ).
