Original local ceramic craft.
Ceramic Tehuanas have a long and old tradition in Oaxaca.
Skilled ceramists were responsibles, however, they have an artisan - craft approach.
The idea as a designer was to approach the tradition and develop a contemporary view of the tradition.
Crafters didn´t use plaster models but pottery wheels or built the figures hand-made.
My approach was to "modernize" the tradition and make the figures using plaster models.

Another example of local ceramic crafts.
Figures found at local markets.
Each artisan has a different approach, experience and history; this particularities were reflected at the Tehuanas personalities.
