This characteristic tone is obtained through a specific technique applied during the clay’s firing, which is done in a two mouthed furnace (a firewood furnace dug underground), during some point in the process, both “mouths” are closed, which triggers a physical reaction that reduces atmospheres, which is contrary to the regular oxidation of firing the piece. This firing process dates as long back as Prehispanic times. It is believed that, if clay is collected by women, the mines could stop naturally producing the material, therefor this is an activity traditionally exclusive to men.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProducing the pieces starts with the clay’s collection, which is sifted and is then “laid to rest”, before it is kneaded and molded. Once the artisan has applied his magic to sculpting and molding the piece, it is left to dry under the sunlight for around four days. In the case the piece requires some form of fretwork, it is done on the fourth day for the piece not to be too fresh or too dry, which could make the process difficult.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs time has passed, pieces are scratched in order to close the pores in the clay, and they are left to dry once again for them to be rubbed with \u003cstrong\u003equartz stones\u003c\/strong\u003e, which give the piece a very particular shimmer. Pieces are then taken out to be dried again, either under direct sunlight or under a shed for indirect light, and once dried, the \u003cstrong\u003equartz\u003c\/strong\u003e rubbing takes place again, all before letting the piece dry one last time for another four days before firing it. Once fired, pieces are washed, dried and ready to be sold. Among the pieces produced, one can find skulls, cajetes, jugs, pots, Mezcal pots, animal figures, and diverse ornament figures, as well as the famous “Carlomagno” pieces, all staying close to traditional techniques.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the Artisan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: left;\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0008\/7582\/3167\/files\/Adelaida-Fabian-Canseca.jpg?v=1533741857\"\u003eOriginally from Mexico City, Adelaida was brought to San Bartolo at a very young age, and was introduced to the Arts by some of her family members during her childhood, all because she was very curious about the artwork and the techniques used to achieve them.
