Story Behind the Art
Time-honored pottery techniques are used in the production of these beautiful pieces. The clay is mined form the mountains surrounding the city, following the traditions of the first potters who came Guanajuato generations ago. Women artisans hand-paint the unfired ceramics while men work the kilns. Each piece is a unique piece of art that captures the flavor and artistry of the region.
There’s no sign to find the small family-owned ceramic workshop in the state of Guanajuato. Behind the large wooden gate, women artisans are hand painting unfired ceramics while men work the kilns, as they have since the late 70’s. Each piece has personality from the dots and swirls to the handpainted logo on the bottom.
