Talavera Pottery – made in Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato, Mexico, is shown in full detail with both photos and videos. Talavera pottery is hand-made, from start to finish, from the mold maker to the skilled painter, and there are many steps involved to create the vibrant and beautiful pottery. Enjoy the movie, as we have enjoyed buying and selling Talavera pottery the last 13 years. Tony and Marion Akers – representing Carlota Gardens.
This is a short craftsmanship documentary by Many Makers about the Master Artisan Isabel Pajarito and ‘barro canelo’, which translates to cinnamon pottery. This technique is said to date back to pre-Hispanic times. What is particularly fascinating about this technique is that the pieces change their colour entirely during firing: when the pieces are placed into the kiln they are various blue-grey and yellow shades, and when they come out they are white, red and orange!

Esto es un cortometraje de Many Makers sobre el Maestro Artesano Isabel Pajarito y 'barro canelo'. Se dice que esta técnica data de tiempos prehispánicos. Lo que es particularmente fascinante de esta técnica es que las piezas cambian su color por completo durante la cocción: cuando las piezas se colocan en el horno, son de varios tonos azul grisáceo y amarillo ¡y cuando salen son blancas, rojas y anaranjadas!

Description: The making processes associated with the artisanal talavera in Mexico and ceramics in Spain are identified with two communities in each country. Despite changes over time – including the use of electric potter’s wheels – the artisanal processes closely resemble those from the sixteenth century. Key skills include preparing the clay, making the earthenware using a potter’s wheel or cast, decorating, preparing enamels and pigments and managing the kiln. Related knowledge and skills are mostly borne by master earthenware artisans and ceramists, who transmit them to the next generations within their workshops or in the family setting.

These beautiful pieces are much more than a decorative fruit bowl!
Anakarem learned the process and technique from her father, Don José, an artisan known for making large ceramic jars.
All her pottery is crafted by the family. Some dig the clay, others design and shape it, and someone else lights the wood-fired kiln.
The decorative perforations are called calado, and are done with a sharp blade to create floral, geometric and other motifs.
The black pottery is fired in a traditional kiln, built by the artisans themselves. The skull represents and celebrates death. These sculptures are used in the altars for the Day of the Dead on November 2.
