Story

For the masters of the Red Clay of Oaxaca, pottery is a way of life for the whole family, and it begins at a young age. A girl who becomes a potter is raised around clay and fire from the day she is born.

For 20 generations, Macrina's village has specialized in creating cookware and serving pieces from the unique red clay that is found in the area, and the process has remained unchanged for generations.

The thermal qualities of red clay mean that these unique pieces can be directly exposed to extremely high temperatures, making them durable and stylish. Mix and match with our other hand-made clay dinnerware and serving pieces to create your dream table setting.

Macrina

Macrina spent her childhood with the red clay, learning from her Zapotec mother and grandmother, as they did before her. With no local market, at just 16, she got on a bus to Guadalajara to sell her family’s red clay pots. It’s not surprising to discover that today, she is a grown woman who still devotes her energy to creating – and promoting – these exquisite local pieces.

The red clay is for using, Macrina tells us, not for just admiring on the shelf. "Put them directly on the fire and give them some burn marks. Pieces hold memories and can't do that sitting on display. These pieces are made to work. Make them a part of your family."
