In addition, the artifacts were scanned to subsequently analyse, from a Design and Territory perspective, the textures and geometric shapes of artifacts made using the technique of Raku through digitalization and three-dimensional modeling. For this, as a methodological path, a workshop was held in the Adamas ceramic workshop, with the proposal of: a) be a punctual mechanism of socialization of science and technology, b) understand how the dynamics of the ceramist as networks that permeate it, c) collect samples for microstructural analysis and d) acquire the artifacts made during the workshop to subject them to analysis from the perspective of design and territory. The materials engineering science has been used through microstructural characterisation of clays and ceramic artifacts. In the field of design, 3D scanning took place for analysis from a design and territory perspective. The ceramic burning technique studied in this research, Raku, was created in China, however it was disseminated and propagated by the Japanese people. The peculiarity resides in the high temperature that is submitted to the piece (around 1000º C) and its cooling of abrupt form, that generates craqueles in the ceramic pieces. The city of Cunha was choice due to its tourist and historical attractions, it presents a peculiar artisan diversity, emphasizing by the ceramic craftsmanship.
