Details

Carito Moroqui

Carito Moroqui

“Mexico, with its mosaics, colors, and multiculturality, serves as my primary source of inspiration."

“I am Carito Moroqui. I was born in Tuxtla Gutierrez in the state of Chiapas, Mexico. I am an artisan that makes... terracotta and ceramic pieces. I have always considered myself to be a creative and dedicated woman with a special fascination for color.

“It was Juanita and Disner, women of Amatenango del Valle and Tonala who were renowned for being skillful in high and low-temperature ceramics, that were my first teachers who shared their wisdom from CELALI (State Center for Indigenous Languages, Art, and Literature). A good friend of mine, Akio, taught me the secrets of Japanese ceramic art, including its creation, philosophy, and the emotions that it reflects. Thanks to these people, I am able to transmit all of my ideas into my art, making them reality.

“One of the things I love the most about my work is the ability to disconnect myself from the outside world in order to center myself in each of the pieces that I imagine. I love clay and its great simplicity, capable of being both malleable and firm at the same time, and how each person is capable of leaving a unique touch with their imagination and dedication to the discipline.

“The process of mastering this technique was a discipline that turned into a personal challenge for me, primarily because I am left-handed. This increased the level of difficulty of this personal challenge, because I had to create my pieces in a different way and learn to work right-handed. That was until I met the master craftsman Alberto. He is a left-handed artisan who showed me the importance of letting go of my concerns. Now, when I work with my hands, I primarily use my left hand. This made me realize the importance of respecting my own talent and listening to my own voice.

“Mexico, with its mosaics, colors, and multiculturality, serves as my primary source of inspiration. The mandalas and textiles give me inspiration to create new pieces with concepts, colors, and designs after the Moroqui style.

“Beginning to work on my own and create pieces like other artisans was a challenge, since it required a lot of dedication, impressing upon me the value of responsibility. Family is a fundamental element of life for me. Even though I create the pieces by myself, my father works with me to mine the clay; it is a physically demanding process that involves climbing down to the clay, shovelling it, collecting it in sacks, and transporting it to the workshop. My mother supports me by checking that all of my artisanal works meet our standards and that they are all certified.

“Today, I work in art therapy. I focus my emotions on creativity, funneling and transmitting them into positive thoughts and emotions. One of the events that I enjoy the most is helping the Teletón USA Children's Rehabilitation Center each summer; this makes me very happy, and I never stop smiling. Between cheers and dances, the children paint mandalas, hearts, and other types of ceramic pieces. #RescatandoTradiciones (Rescuing Traditions) is a project that I hope to replicate at the state level in order to bring new generations closer to the beauty of preserving ceramics in their community.”

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

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

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.
