The Clay Ceramic.
 

Until the sixties, clay figures from this region were made by hand; nowadays, they are mostly made using gypsum molds and are fired in old fashioned wood burners (with exception of the masks, which are still handmade).

 
From there, the pieces go directly to the hands of the artists; they polish every single piece and then create wonderful patterns with very fine brushes and acrylic paints. This translates into every piece being an original, since the artist has the freedom to choose whatever color and styles he wishes to on every piece.
 

Both terms Blue Clay and Natural Clay refer to the background color of the work.

  • Blue Clay are so called because of the cobalt blue background.
  • While Natural Clay is worked directly onto the untreated material.
 
The Amate Paper.
 

"Amate" is a paper made out of natural fibers with pre-Columbian techniques, and with bark of "amate" tree (amatl in nahuatl language). These are soaked, chopped and then spread out to dry, thus forming a flat surface. These paintings have a pictoric, figurative and narrative style, hence the name Stories (Storytelling Style).
