Mrs. Albertina Ramirez is the representative. Amatenango del Valle, is a Tzeltal town characterized for the beautiful and original pottery pieces made by local artisan women using pre-Hispanic techniques. It is located 21.74 miles Southeast of San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, at the top of a hill surrounded by a fertile valley covered in corn fields. This is a town of Mayan origins. Amatenango del Valle is known as the capital of pottery in Chiapas due to the fact that half the population practices this activity, which is exclusive for women, who at the early age of 10, start learning how to work with clay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the production of their products, artisan women extract clay from a mountain located outside their town. They take it home, knead it and then cover it in sand for consistency. After that, they mold it, polish it and paint the pieces using rocks from the river to then fire them in an oven made with firewood cut by the local men. The process of mixing sand and water, molding the clay to then dry it and in wood ovens evokes the primal act of creation in Mayan worldview. Within the wide variety of products created by artisan women, the most common are: jaguars, pots, vessels, pigeons, roosters, braided baskets, white rabbit shaped flower pots, flower pots with calla lilies, wall hanging flower pots, rooster shaped fruit bowls, wall hanging pots, iguanas, turtles, ducks, censers, calla lily planters, turkey vessels, sets of plates, pigeon lamps, suns, moons, jars, among others. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eVideo of the Artisans\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pBypW8Q1fdY\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer;

Amatenango del Valle, is a Tzeltal town characterized for the beautiful and original pottery pieces made by local artisan women using pre-Hispanic techniques. It is located 21.74 miles Southeast of San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, at the top of a hill surrounded by a fertile valley covered in corn fields. This is a town of Mayan origins. Amatenango del Valle is known as the capital of pottery in Chiapas due to the fact that half the population practices this activity, which is exclusive for women, who at the early age of 10, start learning how to work with clay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the production of their products, artisan women extract clay from a mountain located outside their town. They take it home, knead it and then cover it in sand for consistency. After that, they mold it, polish it and paint the pieces using rocks from the river to then fire them in an oven made with firewood cut by the local men. The process of mixing sand and water, molding the clay to then dry it and in wood ovens evokes the primal act of creation in Mayan worldview. Within the wide variety of products created by artisan women, the most common are: jaguars, pots, vessels, pigeons, roosters, braided baskets, white rabbit shaped flower pots, flower pots with calla lilies, wall hanging flower pots, rooster shaped fruit bowls, wall hanging pots, iguanas, turtles, ducks, censers, calla lily planters, turkey vessels, sets of plates, pigeon lamps, suns, moons, jars, among others. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eVideo of the Artisans\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pBypW8Q1fdY\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}

The clay is strained using a mesh for eliminating impurities. The clay is then mildly de-hydrated to achieve the artisan's desired clay consistency. When a clay ball is ready, it is laid over a smooth stone, and the shaping process begins. The clay is molded into an inverted and flattened cone; as it keeps on spinning, the clay is morphed into shapes of Jaguars, Pots, Pitchers and other creations. Once the piece's shape is finished, it is left under the sun for it to dry. This is the process's critical point, because this is when the clay can break.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the pieces are finished drying under the sun, they are put on top of a dry tree branch bed, and around it, vertically-standing logs. It is then fired at 600 to 700 Degrees Celsius, enough for the clay to lose its capacity for dissolving in water. This firing technique holds a great similarity to the one ancestrally used by the Mayan People who inhabited these lands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the end, when the pieces are ready for being painted, Potters use different minerals for obtaining natural colors to apply on the pieces. By sanding some of their selected minerals, and pouring the powder into a concave rock for it to be mixed with water, these artisans achieve red, black and even yellow tones. They then take their brushes, and with great skill, start decorating jaguars, pots, pitchers, salad bowls, pigeons, and many other pieces with the intention of bringing their art directly to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout The Artisan\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cimg style=\"float: left;\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0008\/7582\/3167\/files\/Margarita-Diaz-Gomez_large.jpg?v=1566336656\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMargarita Diaz Gomez\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing 43 years old, she is one of the most representative Chiapas-born Artisans, creating Jaguars that easily surpass the three-feet length among other beautiful and representative pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe lives in a humble home filled with a warm and welcoming vibe to it, her doors are always open, and everyone is always well received.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMargarita\u003c\/strong\u003e started working when she was just 12 years old, crafting smaller pieces and following her parents’ tradition and teachings.
