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\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0008\/7582\/3167\/files\/Omar-Fabian-Canseca_large.jpg?v=1553710950\" style=\"float: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOmar Fabian Canseco\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe was born in the city of Oaxaca, in San Bartolo Coyotepec, a pottery town with an important tradition in the prehispanic era.

This type of clay is sifted until it becomes a very fine sand, then, water is added to form a very soft, smooth, and malleable paste. It is with this clay paste that the molding of the pieces begins, using a wheel, from which vases, flower pots, and other creations come to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a piece is molded, it is left outside to dry for two to three days, being exposed directly to the sunlight for any humidity to evaporate. The pieces are then put through the first firing, with temperatures up to 1652 Fº degrees for timespans that range from 5 to 6 hours. Once the pieces cool down, the most laborious and artistic part of the process starts, a decoration process with the most fantastic designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery piece is painted with brushes made by the artisan himself using dog fur. Once the pieces are completely painted, they are then submerged in an enamel giving the piece a glossy finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is then that the piece is fired again in the oven, reaching roughly 212 Fº degrees for eight hours. During this process, as if through magic, colors start to appear. As an end result, painted designs shimmer with a very special brightness, while also allowing the piece to be freed from any lead content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving precise control of temperatures is very important. If the piece does not receive the right amount of heat, the paint may start melting, ruining the design and causing cracks in the clay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout the Artisan\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeronimo Ramos Flores\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe is considered to be one of the great Potters of our time.

This type of clay is sifted until it becomes a very fine sand, then, water is added to form a very soft, smooth, and malleable paste. It is with this clay paste that the molding of the pieces begins, using a wheel, from which vases, flower pots, and other creations come to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a piece is molded, it is left outside to dry for two to three days, being exposed directly to the sunlight for any humidity to evaporate. The pieces are then put through the first firing, with temperatures up to 1652 Fº degrees for timespans that range from 5 to 6 hours. Once the pieces cool down, the most laborious and artistic part of the process starts, a decoration process with the most fantastic designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery piece is painted with brushes made by the artisan himself using dog fur. Once the pieces are completely painted, they are then submerged in an enamel giving the piece a glossy finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is then that the piece is fired again in the oven, reaching roughly 212 Fº degrees for eight hours. During this process, as if through magic, colors start to appear. As an end result, painted designs shimmer with a very special brightness, while also allowing the piece to be freed from any lead content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving precise control of temperatures is very important.

This is one of the few artistic processes in the world which is invariably attached to a Mystic sense, using the Spirit as the Art’s raw Material and Vice-versa. Any piece from this collection is based on Experiences associated with Peyote, it is from this interaction that such colors and forms observed in Wixarika arts come to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo other Prehispanic Culture uses such a high complexity color usage as that of the Wixarikas, their craft was born as an offering to the Gods, although it also a way to communicate to their community, and even to the rest of men, the Messages of their divinity. According to their beliefs, when communication between Gods and people exist, bright colors and Shapes open a Portal, called the Nierika. This is why their Yarn compositions are named Nierikas. Their art is created using representations of knowledge acquired during ceremonies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistinguished and much appreciated Artists are referred as “Chamanes”, properly called Maraakames, who embody their experiences with the Gods through their brilliant, intense, and even fluorescent color palette art.

Drawing mastery is one of its most notable features, represented with a “pure\" decorative style, which is predominant in these pieces, including abstract floral motives, symbolic animal representations and even geometric shapes. Traditional Mexican Elements are added to its themes: Such as the Eagle, Snake, Nahual (A Shapeshifting being commonly found in the Mexican mythology), Nopal (Cactus), and Pre-Hispanic patterns that form the synthesis of a very particular and characteristic scenario.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor its elaboration, clay-filled molds are used. The handles, “ears”, and other details are molded separately, and then embedded on the whole piece. It is then left to dry, before getting a soft sanding. After that, the piece is given an “Engobe” bath (a watery mix of clays) with the dual purpose of covering the smallest pores and serving as a background base for the paint. The painting of the design is achieved by mixing local types (of clay) with different tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBurnished Clay\u003c\/strong\u003e acquires its name from the shimmer obtained by rubbing the pieces with a burnishing tool made from a mineral named pyrite. The burnishing process starts by sanding the raw piece with river stones or very thin wet sanding paper. Once the piece is dry, it is bathed with a color that serves as a background for the decoration. Colors applied to the piece are all from mineral origin, prepared by mixing liquefied clay from the region, known as “flor de tierra” (or the Soil’s flower in English). For painting, several different traditional brushes are used, some of them made from cat’s fur, dog fur, squirrel’s tail fur, or even Fox’s tail fur. Once the piece is decorated, it is then burnished. The whole production process comes before the piece is fired, therefore, if a piece is not well crafted, it may be damaged while in the fire. The firing temperatures oscillate around 600ºC (around 1112 Fahrenheit), traditionally using firewood obtain a low flame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout the Artisan\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: left;\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0008\/7582\/3167\/files\/Luis-Cortez_a9bc43f9-077e-42eb-8912-4cb7b0bec0db.jpg?v=1524678574\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLuis Cortez\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLuis Cortez\u003c\/strong\u003e arrived to Tonala in the year 1980 and asked to become an apprentice in Salvador Vazquez Carmona´s Workshop, where he spent around seven years learning the basics, such as the use of the brushes and the elaboration of vases.

Drawing mastery is one of its most notable features, represented with a “pure\" decorative style, which is predominant in these pieces, including abstract floral motives, symbolic animal representations and even geometric shapes. Traditional Mexican Elements are added to its themes: Such as the Eagle, Snake, Nahual (A Shapeshifting being commonly found in the Mexican mythology), Nopal (Cactus), and Pre-Hispanic patterns that form the synthesis of a very particular and characteristic scenario.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor its elaboration, clay-filled molds are used. The handles, “ears”, and other details are molded separately, and then embedded on the whole piece. It is then left to dry, before getting a soft sanding. After that, the piece is given an “Engobe” bath (a watery mix of clays) with the dual purpose of covering the smallest pores and serving as a background base for the paint. The painting of the design is achieved by mixing local types (of clay) with different tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBurnished Clay\u003c\/strong\u003e acquires its name from the shimmer obtained by rubbing the pieces with a burnishing tool made from a mineral named pyrite. The burnishing process starts by sanding the raw piece with river stones or very thin wet sanding paper. Once the piece is dry, it is bathed with a color that serves as a background for the decoration. Colors applied to the piece are all from mineral origin, prepared by mixing liquefied clay from the region, known as “flor de tierra” (or the Soil’s flower in English). For painting, several different traditional brushes are used, some of them made from cat’s fur, dog fur, squirrel’s tail fur, or even Fox’s tail fur. Once the piece is decorated, it is then burnished. The whole production process comes before the piece is fired, therefore, if a piece is not well crafted, it may be damaged while in the fire. The firing temperatures oscillate around 600ºC (around 1112 Fahrenheit), traditionally using firewood obtain a low flame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout the Artisan\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: left;\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0008\/7582\/3167\/files\/Luis-Cortez_a9bc43f9-077e-42eb-8912-4cb7b0bec0db.jpg?v=1524678574\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLuis Cortez\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLuis Cortez\u003c\/strong\u003e arrived to Tonala in the year 1980 and asked to become an apprentice in Salvador Vazquez Carmona´s Workshop, where he spent around seven years learning the basics, such as the use of the brushes and the elaboration of vases.

This technique has a similar firing process as do most techniques, what changes here is both paint and finish; it is distinguishable because the pigments used are 100% natural and made by the artisan himself. Paint and finish are not noticeable until the piece is fired, this is when different hues of brown appear.

The knowledge required for the elaboration of these intricate wood sculptures is passed from one generation to the other. People in San Martin Tilcajete and Arrazola, Oaxaca, are born and raised deeply connected to the creation of these figures, all as a part of their own family environment. Usually, the locals live surrounded by copal logs, tools and paints inside their houses, as well as the traditional process of carving the sculptures. This is how children and young members of families learn day by day this craft from their elders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Process.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt all starts with the selection of the wooden piece to be used, the figure to be sculpted is decided according to the log’s shape, the base of the log is cut out with a Machete, and then the artisan starts searching for the balance of the figure’s shape and weight, to decide whether the figure will stand vertically or horizontally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artisan then makes drawings on the sides, giving him reference on where he will make rough cuts with his machete, he then proceeds to cut out details with smaller knives, which contribute to the sculpture by giving it expression and movement, each piece is unique, they can be reproduced, but there will always be subtle differences because of the 100% manual process, based on the original log’s shape and the hand-carving and sanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe carved piece is left to dry in the sunlight, once its outer body has dried, it is carefully sanded, the sawdust is kept in case of the need of repairs. After the sanding, the piece is again left to dry under the sun. In some cases, a large piece can take up to two years to dry out entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the piece has completely dried, it is then taken through the repair process, using a variety of tools, artisans open the cracks in the wood and are then filled with copal wedges and a mix of the previously collected sawdust mixed with sealant. The wedges are then sanded, and smoothed. These processes can take up to a month on larger pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter sanding and smoothing the sculpture, artisans apply a base color coating, it could either be a solid tone or in some other cases even gradients, after applying this first paint bath, artisans usually let the piece rest, they wait and see if there are any cracks on the wood for them to amend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artisans proceed to decorate the pieces with different brush types, each artisan has a style of their own for decorating, from the simplest traces to the most intricate designs and prehispanic patterns. After decorating the piece, it is covered with a lacquer spray to protect it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the past, artisans were only producing animal figures, but this started changing when younger artisans started introducing new subjects that contributed to alebrijes as a diverse art form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuddenly, you could also find dragons, monsters, and even aliens! From this moment on, the artisan’s creative potential had become free to explore and create, which consumers and collectors all started appreciating and searching for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the figures or themes of the sculpts became very popular and started being repeated, some such as dogs, armadillos or iguanas, but these figures not only represent the local wildlife, they are also common symbols of local folklore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the 80s, artisans started exploring different figures, such as giraffes, dogs, cats, elephants, zebras, deer, and even some more exotic types, like dolphins, sharks and other fish. All of this exploration is what set the stage for a second wave of exploration from younger artisans that gave (way to) fantastic figures such as dragons and aliens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout the Artisan\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: left;\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0008\/7582\/3167\/files\/Esteban-Fabian-Mendez_large.jpg?v=1527715226\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEsteban Fabian Mendez\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the young age of 10, \u003cstrong\u003eEsteban\u003c\/strong\u003e learned to make alebrijes from his father, Ismael Fabian Mendoza, \u003cstrong\u003eEsteban\u003c\/strong\u003e was always attracted to the arts, and he didn't want to set aside the family tradition, so he started by carving smaller figures, and as he became better, his father taught him how to paint and allowed him to do his own pieces.

After the sanding, the piece is again left to dry under the sun. In some cases, a large piece can take up to two years to dry out entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the piece has completely dried, it is then taken through the repair process, using a variety of tools, artisans open the cracks in the wood and are then filled with copal wedges and a mix of the previously collected sawdust mixed with sealant. The wedges are then sanded, and smoothed. These processes can take up to a month on larger pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter sanding and smoothing the sculpture, artisans apply a base color coating, it could either be a solid tone or in some other cases even gradients, after applying this first paint bath, artisans usually let the piece rest, they wait and see if there are any cracks on the wood for them to amend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artisans proceed to decorate the pieces with different brush types, each artisan has a style of their own for decorating, from the simplest traces to the most intricate designs and prehispanic patterns. After decorating the piece, it is covered with a lacquer spray to protect it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the past, artisans were only producing animal figures, but this started changing when younger artisans started introducing new subjects that contributed to alebrijes as a diverse art form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuddenly, you could also find dragons, monsters, and even aliens! From this moment on, the artisan’s creative potential had become free to explore and create, which consumers and collectors all started appreciating and searching for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the figures or themes of the sculpts became very popular and started being repeated, some such as dogs, armadillos or iguanas, but these figures not only represent the local wildlife, they are also common symbols of local folklore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the 80s, artisans started exploring different figures, such as giraffes, dogs, cats, elephants, zebras, deer, and even some more exotic types, like dolphins, sharks and other fish. All of this exploration is what set the stage for a second wave of exploration from younger artisans that gave (way to) fantastic figures such as dragons and aliens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout the Artisan\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: left;\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0008\/7582\/3167\/files\/Esteban-Fabian-Mendez_large.jpg?v=1527715226\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEsteban Fabian Mendez\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the young age of 10, \u003cstrong\u003eEsteban\u003c\/strong\u003e learned to make alebrijes from his father, Ismael Fabian Mendoza, \u003cstrong\u003eEsteban\u003c\/strong\u003e was always attracted to the arts, and he didn't want to set aside the family tradition, so he started by carving smaller figures, and as he became better, his father taught him how to paint and allowed him to do his own pieces.
