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.

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\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the artisan\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFernando Jimon Melchor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eComing from a Family with 5 generations of artists in Tonala, \u003cstrong\u003eFernando Jimon Melchor\u003c\/strong\u003e and his artworks have become a referent of quality and craftsmanship.

It dates from the Colonial Era, and it stands out because of its cheerful and joy-filled figurines, with several different motives such as Lions, Dogs, Roosters, Trees of Life, and Noah’s arks, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBetus Clay\u003c\/strong\u003e takes its name because; before firing and painting the piece, it is given a Betus oil bath (which is made from the resin that comes from Birch Trees). This type of pottery’s most characteristic features are the striking, fun and brilliant colors applied to Fantastic Animals, playful Bible Characters, and ingenuous architectural reproductions which are molded directly in the clay, with some other details produced in clay or plaster casts. Nowadays, some artisans mix traditional and modern processes to produce these crafts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe process starts with the collection of clay in Tonala’s Mines, big chunks of soil are pulverized and then mixed with a stronger type of clay called “Liga” (a binding clay), the clays are kneaded and molded into unique forms. The oven is prepared, and pieces, sculpted days before, are fired. It is before firing, that the clay has a dark tone to it. The pieces must be dried outdoors before being fired, otherwise they may explode while in the oven. Each figure is then rubbed with Betus (Birch Tree) Oil, right before being fired, giving a lacquered aspect to the finished pieces. The firing process is carried on with a low temperature compared to other types of ceramics. Ovens are simple brick holes covered in antique tiles. After the pieces are fired, they are colored with industrial anilines, the final coating of Betus oil is applied directly with the hands, rubbed in without using any brushes. As of today, the usage of acrylic paints and synthetic lacquer have given brighter and more colorful figures, as well as making a faster production process.\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\/Gerardo-ortega_7e22116d-b936-410d-b227-0d9228ecd04a_large.jpg?v=1524681733\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGerardo Ortega\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour generations of tradition do converge in \u003cstrong\u003eGerardo Ortega’s “Ortega’s Folk”\u003c\/strong\u003e Workshop, who, along with his artisan brothers, has been crafting surreal and fantastical pieces for over 40 years, with one of Santa Cruz de las Huertas’, Tonala, Jalisco, most representative techniques: \u003cstrong\u003eBetus Clay\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eHis grandparents used to work in the fields, for both reap and sow, and on their free time, they dedicated to their art’s development. \u003cstrong\u003eGerardo\u003c\/strong\u003e’s grandmother designed pieces such as roosters, other animals, chandeliers, fruits and other surreal figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGerardo Ortega\u003c\/strong\u003e is very known for his \u003cstrong\u003eTrees of Life\u003c\/strong\u003e.

It dates from the Colonial Era, and it stands out because of its cheerful and joy-filled figurines, with several different motives such as Lions, Dogs, Roosters, Trees of Life, and Noah’s arks, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBetus Clay\u003c\/strong\u003e takes its name because; before firing and painting the piece, it is given a Betus oil bath (which is made from the resin that comes from Birch Trees). This type of pottery’s most characteristic features are the striking, fun and brilliant colors applied to Fantastic Animals, playful Bible Characters, and ingenuous architectural reproductions which are molded directly in the clay, with some other details produced in clay or plaster casts. Nowadays, some artisans mix traditional and modern processes to produce these crafts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe process starts with the collection of clay in Tonala’s Mines, big chunks of soil are pulverized and then mixed with a stronger type of clay called “Liga” (a binding clay), the clays are kneaded and molded into unique forms. The oven is prepared, and pieces, sculpted days before, are fired. It is before firing, that the clay has a dark tone to it. The pieces must be dried outdoors before being fired, otherwise they may explode while in the oven. Each figure is then rubbed with Betus (Birch Tree) Oil, right before being fired, giving a lacquered aspect to the finished pieces. The firing process is carried on with a low temperature compared to other types of ceramics. Ovens are simple brick holes covered in antique tiles. After the pieces are fired, they are colored with industrial anilines, the final coating of Betus oil is applied directly with the hands, rubbed in without using any brushes. As of today, the usage of acrylic paints and synthetic lacquer have given brighter and more colorful figures, as well as making a faster production process.\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\/Gerardo-ortega_7e22116d-b936-410d-b227-0d9228ecd04a_large.jpg?v=1524681733\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGerardo Ortega\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour generations of tradition do converge in \u003cstrong\u003eGerardo Ortega’s “Ortega’s Folk”\u003c\/strong\u003e Workshop, who, along with his artisan brothers, has been crafting surreal and fantastical pieces for over 40 years, with one of Santa Cruz de las Huertas’, Tonala, Jalisco, most representative techniques: \u003cstrong\u003eBetus Clay\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eHis grandparents used to work in the fields, for both reap and sow, and on their free time, they dedicated to their art’s development. \u003cstrong\u003eGerardo\u003c\/strong\u003e’s grandmother designed pieces such as roosters, other animals, chandeliers, fruits and other surreal figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGerardo Ortega\u003c\/strong\u003e is very known for his \u003cstrong\u003eTrees of Life\u003c\/strong\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.

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.

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\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the artisan\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFernando Jimon Melchor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eComing from a Family with 5 generations of artists in Tonala, \u003cstrong\u003eFernando Jimon Melchor\u003c\/strong\u003e and his artworks have become a referent of quality and craftsmanship.
