Corund is one of the largest settlements of Hargita. It is situated in the valley of a stream which has the same name as the village. The first document of Corund is from 1333. As the agriculture was never enough to support the population different trades formed, among them potter’s craft is the oldest one, but you can find tinder-making and charcoal-burning crafts as well. Permanent fair is held in the main square, where customers can find not only the local craftsmen’s products, but they can buy goods from masters of the neighbourhood. In the beginning craftsmen made pots without glaze, and these pots were well-tried cooking utensils. The pottery craft of Corund was in danger many times. When the glazed pots came into fashion the young people were sent to Székelyudvarhely, to learn the new methods. The potter’s craft can support the inhabitants well, so people don’t move to other settlements from here.
