Qvevri makers, Kakheti

Georgia, where this project is. The register records the country and no finer position — coastline and frontiers from Natural Earth, public domain.

The clay vessels Georgian wine ferments in are made by a handful of families. The technique is on the UNESCO intangible heritage list and the number of working makers is in single figures.

What it needs

Apprentice stipends, kiln repair, and a survey of the surviving clay sources.
