MEET Julio
Magic in the mud
“Clay keeps the memory of every hand that touches it.”
Julio works with clay gathered from the land around him, shaping each piece using techniques carried through generations. His vessels honour the long Mixe tradition of digging, forming and firing by hand, where the earth and the maker move together.
Pottery by Julio
Ancestral Craft
“Tradition lives when it is held with care.”
The Mixe people have preserved their language, identity and creative heritage for centuries. Julio carries this legacy forward, creating pottery that reflects the strength of his culture and the quiet devotion behind each step of his process.
A Community Vision
“Art grows stronger when it’s shared.”
Julio is working toward a community art and pottery center where local makers can learn, create and keep their traditions alive. His dream is rooted in connection, ensuring that the next generation can inherit the craft with pride and purpose.
