The soil used in the application of their traditional lacquer, is called “Tizate” (A natural carbonate compound derived from Magnesium and Calcium).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThen “Axe”, an oil naturally obtained from “cochinillas”, small insects that live mostly in Prairie Acacia trees. During the month of July, they are harvested from these trees, and the oil preparation begins by boiling cochinillas with water, then, the hot liquid is sifted with fine cloths, and then, this sifted liquid is boiled again, right until it evaporates all remaining water, leaving only a butter-like oil with a bright yellow color.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTizate is then ground into the Axe, and the artisans thoroughly mix them until they obtain a paste called “Zulaque”, which is used to fill and cover imperfections on the dried pumpkins (also known as Jícaras), as well as other wooden pieces. Bitter dried pumpkins are opened with a saw, giving it the shape intended for the piece, seeds are removed from the inside, and the body of the pumpkin is left soaking for 3 days, all before letting it dry for around 3 to 4 days. Once dried, the pumpkin’s body is then sanded both inside and out, using both the Axe and Tizate, the base for the piece is applied into 2 layers, usually called “capas”, the process can require the piece to have a total of 7 “capas” applied to it. The last layer is applied with cotton and rubbed until it becomes very bright and shiny. When the artisans are crafting a colorful piece, they will start applying pigment which is added to the soil and being applied to the piece, alternating both soil and oil, until the shine resembles that of the iconic black pieces they also craft.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe decoration of the pieces is applied once they are dry, using their fingertips and small cats-hair brushes.

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.

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 Artisans\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cimg style=\"float: left;\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0008\/7582\/3167\/files\/Nueva-Estrella_large.jpg?v=1566336970\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNueva Estrella\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e In 1999, a group of 52 indigenous Tzotzil women founded the Social Solidarity Society “Artisan Womens from Valle Amatenango of \u003cstrong\u003eNueva Estrella\u003c\/strong\u003e”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 2000, its members produce, create and sell their handicrafts in that store that also has an exhibition center. 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; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2019-08-21T10:57:24-07:00","created_at":"2019-08-21T14:15:09-07:00","vendor":"NUEVA ESTRELLA","type":"CHIAPAS POTTERY","tags":["CHIAPAS","LIGHTING","POTTERY"],"price":5900,"price_min":5900,"price_max":5900,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":15829440135231,"title":"White","option1":"White","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"CP-NE-LHL-01","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":11770975256639,"product_id":1977196609599,"position":1,"created_at":"2019-08-21T14:15:14-07:00","updated_at":"2019-08-21T14:15:14-07:00","alt":null,"width":1900,"height":1900,"src":"\/\/artezzanos.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/White-Hanging-Lamp-01_826b2174-4418-467f-8a39-f326aac1e525.jpg?v=1566422114","variant_ids":[15829440135231]},"available":true,"name":"Large Wall Hanging Lamp, Chiapas Pottery -
