"For us as a family, working in ceramics has been a beautiful challenge. We always felt an attraction for manual work that allowed us to express our talents and emotions.

"We continue working with the artisan technique of burnished clay, but give a modern finish to our pieces. It's very important to have that touch of tradition and yet show evolution and innovation.

"It has always been a pleasure to work with clay. Currently, we have two people who assist us in our workshop. One of our projects involved sharing the models of our designs for the remodeling of some hotels in Guadalajara.

"I believe that the real reason we chose this art is, in itself, the pleasure and the passion to do things right. One of the main challenges we faced was sharing a part of ourselves in our designs. Showing our passion through them.

"We're very happy to work with you. This has given us a lot of security in the quality of our work, and has allowed us to maintain this beautiful family tradition. We have demonstrated the quality and magic of Mexican art."

Original Artisan Story

"Hello, I'm Israel Garcia Ochoa. Our work was born of the desire to create something different in clay. It was my mother who began this project and who designs the majority of our work. We set up our workshop with the idea of offering a dignified job to people with physical handicaps. At the same time, we want to rescue the traditional technique known as barro bruñido, or burnished clay.

"We first shape the piece, either on a potter's wheel or using molds. Once dry, we prepare it so the surface will be glossy, working while the clay is still slightly damp. Then, with a compass, we mark the areas to be incised. Once the design is perfectly laid out, we add colors derived from different mineral oxides. To finish it, we burnish it, forcing the color into the piece. For a shiny finish, we polish the clay with stone, while metal gives it a matte finish. It is allowed to thoroughly dry, and then fired. Our work of integrating the color with the clay and firing a piece only once results in a very resistant item.

"This kind of work requires a great deal of time and patience, as the designs are generally small and include motifs such as the Virgin Mary, or crosses. Our styles are derived from the Mexican baroque tradition as well as contemporary styles. By combining a time-honored technique with our own passion for art, we achieve decorative accent pieces that are innovative and original. Each of one our ceramics has its own personality, as each requires many hours of work to bring it into being."

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.
