MAGIC IN THE MUD

Clay pottery sitting on wooden steps.

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.

ANCESTRAL CRAFT

A woman works on packaging. Clay vases and sculptures sit around her.

Indigenous Mixe are one of the most culturally conservative of the remaining pre-Hispanic groups and have managed to maintain their original, unwritten language, unlike many other Mexican groups. Recently they won an important international court decision, which awarded them copyright to their ancestral designs which previously have been widely shared for profit with no remuneration.
