In 1992, world famous ceramist, Ken Edwards, visited Guatemala looking for a source of clay. He settled in San Antonio Palopo, where he trained curious young villagers to make ceramics. The villagers learned new skills to create functional and decorative ceramics and developed their own decorating styles. These ceramics are high fired for durability and decorated with lead free glazes.
Artisanship
“In artisanship, one sees the hand of whoever made an item. And artisanship usually tells a story that is personal and moving. It’s 'art thinking’ as opposed to ‘design thinking,’ and ‘art thinking’ is about emotion and atmosphere."
- Grace Jeffers (Designer, historian)
