 Story Behind the Art

Time-honored Encantada pottery techniques are used in the production of these beautiful pieces.  The clay is mined form the mountains surrounding the city, following the traditions of the first potters who came Guanajuato generations ago.  Women artisans hand-paint the un-fired ceramics while men work the kilns.  Each piece is a unique piece of art that captures the flavor and artistry of the region.
