Story

Julio’s clay pieces speak directly to the heart of Oaxaca state, where there’s magic in the mud. The pottery is different in each region, with different colourings, different processes, and different clays – all with unique characteristics. Artisans here dig their own clay, form their own pieces, and fire their own wares, all on the shoulders of their ancestors who walked this land before them.

Julio creates inspired pottery – elegant, artistic pottery that is deeply in touch with the earth – and ancestors – from which it came.

Julio Martinez Diaz

Julio learned the ancestral pottery traditions of his community at a young age, guided by elders who understood the deep relationship between clay and culture. The clay he works with is dug by hand, shaped slowly and fired using methods passed down through centuries. Each step is grounded in the rhythms of his land and the knowledge of those who came before him.

Julio is committed to preserving these traditions while building opportunities for others. His vision is to create a community art and pottery center where artisans can gather to share skills, protect their heritage and support one another. His pieces reflect this purpose. They are elegant, thoughtful forms inspired by the natural world and the stories held within the earth. Through his work, Julio honours the past while shaping a future rooted in creativity and cultural strength.
