Hands in clay: Atzompa "Los ardillas"

Santa Maria Atzompa is a town with a pottery tradition that reaches back several thousand years. Join us as we visit the "Ardilla" family, who are renowned for their signature styles and their commitment to preserving the traditional methods of their ancestors. In this hands-on experience, you will learn the entire process of working with clay—from the raw earth to the finished, fired piece. You'll have the chance to sit at the wheel (or use traditional molding techniques) and create a piece of your own under the guidance of master potters. This experience provides a deep dive into the cultural heritage of Atzompa and the personal stories of a family dedicated to their craft.
