Hand-crafted item -- color, size and/or motif may vary slightly|Signed by the artistAbout our Artist: 'We're the Aguilar Artisan Workshop, a family ceramic project in Mexico. Our specialty is polychrome terracotta. Each member of the family participates in the crafting process and we create the images that fascinate us most. We believe we have art in our blood and, from the time we were , we've been learning this craft. Polychrome clay is a technique that shows off the most beautiful colors against natural red or red-brown clay. The raw clay is dug from a nearby hillside and is ground, sifted and mixed with water. It is kneaded for half a day before we place it in recipients in a cool place to repose for 24 hours. Our everyday life is our main source of inspiration family and all that surrounds us in this beautiful country of Mexico. One of the greatest challenges I've faced is the constant discipline this art requires. It demands continual learning, time, effort and a small dose of faith.'
