Meet the Artist

Katrin Schikora

'Little by little I managed to get what I needed and I adapted my style of work to what was available. Yesterday's limitations have become today’s inspiration.'

"Over 20 years ago I decided to start a new life in Mexico with my own ceramic workshop, which wasn't easy. I was born... in Hockenheim, Germany, and by the time I was eight years old I started working with clay because my mother had a little workshop at home. That's when I became aware of my tactile senses and I loved it because it offers endless expressive possibilities. That is why I sign my work as Takto.

"My friends consider me a creative and persistent person who is constantly searching for ways to grow. I would say the toughest times in my life were when I finished my studies in ceramic, photography and art therapy in England.

"It wasn't easy getting started in Mexico. It was all new to me and I couldn't find the materials and tools I needed. Little by little I managed to get what I needed and I adapted my style of work to what was available. Yesterday's limitations have become today's inspiration.

"I taught a ceramics course for about six years at private workshops and at a university in Merida (Mexico). It was part of their degree in product design. I love teaching the techniques I use to young people who have no artistic preparation, and so help them become artisans with a proud and noble craft.

"The materials we use are clay, slip, enamels and pigments. I love to create and I take my inspiration from the materials I use, as well as the cosmos and nature's infinite variety of colors, textures and patinas.

"I am also greatly inspired by Mexican architecture, the weathered colors on the walls of old Colonial houses as well as the aged textures and natural colors of the rocks and stucco in pre-Hispanic ruins.

"I collaborate with my husband, George Samuelson, who is an artist as well as a designer. He helps me resolve certain techniques issues when creating the bases and supports for metals or wood within the ceramic pieces.

"My dreams for the future include making my workshop bigger and be able to offer more work opportunities to the people of the beautiful Yucatán. It's my way of giving back to the community for taking me in and becoming my home.

"I am a co-founder and actual president of 'Educate Yucatan A. C.,' an association with a mission to improve the educational and living possibilities of the Cholul community, who are marginalized. I hope I keep having more work to do so I may continue with this project, as well as supporting the two artisans working with me and their families by providing them with a place to live in a healthy environment.

"We are at the beginning of a revitalization period marked by a continuous creative approach, exploring the unlimited possibilities of our materials through a constant expansion of our aesthetic concepts. Our challenge is to gain new spaces for ceramics in the area of interior design and to increase its presence in our everyday lives."

FINDING YOUR SIZE

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

Measure around the base of the neck keeping the tape measure comfortably loose.

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.

Triple 'Win' Pricing

UNICEF Market offers triple win pricing, where YOU the consumer, Children from around the world, and Artisans all benefit.

WIN # 1 You Save!

Handmade goods from developing nations usually pass through a series of intermediaries before being purchased by retail consumers. Each of these intermediaries adds cost to the product, and that cost is passed on to the customer. UNICEF USA partnered with NOVICA, who works directly with artists through their regional offices in Asia, Africa and Latin America, allowing purchases from UNICEF Market to go directly from the artisans to fulfilling customer orders. By skipping steps in the traditional supply chain, you can buy high quality items for less than the regular retail prices.

WIN # 2 Children Benefit!

Each item purchased from UNICEF Market will benefit UNICEF's programs that provide lifesaving nutrition, medicine, education, clean water, emergency relief and more to children in need.

You can learn more about UNICEF's work, on About UNICEF.
