The prosperity of Qazvin’s economy by turning the pottery wheel
Shirin Barzegar: Since handicrafts affect the cultural heritage, economy and social activities of the society, they have become very important and handicrafts are also of special importance in terms of cultural and religious heritage.
Handicrafts in Eastern and Third World countries were initially important to generate income and create jobs for the people of the community. But in recent years, the handicrafts industry in these countries has become even more valuable due to the revival of cultural and indigenous heritage and the preservation of cultural values.
With the expansion of new tools and the production of high quality raw materials for handicrafts with better quality than before, the primary centers and the formation of handicrafts are related to third world countries and handicrafts to create jobs and help people’s economy in these countries and developing regions. It is more important and has a more entertaining aspect in developed industrial countries, and it has had a special place in Iran for many years.
Long-term settlement of tribes and inspiration from the nature of the region are two important factors in creating a variety of handicrafts of the tribes living in the region as well as the city of Qazvin.
6,000 years of experience living in the Buin Zahra area and Zagheh Hills, the cemetery and the hill hill have created a special style of cooking and designing pottery in the past, which today art experts know as slum style pottery.
Among the types of handicraft products of Qazvin province, we can mention pottery, which can be important in creating employment and economic prosperity.
Given the naming of 2018 by the Supreme Leader, as a support for Iranian goods, we need to take a more serious look at the province’s handicrafts and traditional industries and use the capabilities of this sector to produce more Iranian goods.
The pottery profession in Minoodari country has higher economic capacities compared to other fields of handicrafts and traditional arts, so that the major part of the province’s handicraft exports is dedicated to pottery, so it is necessary to produce more ceramics than pottery producers. Also, pottery artists should be supported so that they can offer more quality products to the Iranian and world markets.
