Created by the earth, conceived by my hands
In the Arizmendi pottery workshop in Tecomatepec, Mexico clay pieces are produced with the traditional process for red clay that begins with the manual extraction of natural clay, going through a plaster molding process, to later be painted by hand before being introduced in a brick and wood oven. The entire process is carried out by members of the Arizmendi family, who consider that the craftsman's work is truly valued once their elaboration process is known.
