Story

Francisco creates these pieces using techniques that have been handed down for generations. But he takes it one step further. He adds unusual natural elements to his work, items he grows by hand. The sap and leaves of organic copal and tobacco help create his smoky black colour. Other hues from cream to orange and aqua are created using natural elements he sources from a local mine.

And this is the magic of Oaxaca. Rooted in history, each artist has a specific source of mud and sand – and elements – that are used to bring a unique style to their finished pieces.

Francisco has perfected his craft, creating classic and elegant handmade clay objects that combine the wisdom of tradition with the power of innovation.

Francisco

Francisco’s relationship with clay began in childhood, where he learned the pottery traditions passed down through his family. After years away, he returned home to continue this lineage, working with the same local earth that shaped the artisans before him. His practice honours the ancient methods used in his community, where hand-built kilns and slow, intentional firing define the character of each piece. What sets Francisco apart is his use of natural elements he grows himself. Copal and tobacco from his land are folded into the clay to create distinctive colours and organic textures that feel rooted in place. His open-air studio allows him to work closely with the materials around him, blending inherited knowledge with his own creative approach. Every vessel reflects patience, history, and the spirit of his craft.
