Red clay has been used in Mexico for at least 4500 years. When I see red clay pottery, I think of my memories while visiting family in Mexico City. It brings me joy knowing that maybe I came from makers in a small village that use to create art.
At Monarca KC we started with red clay and have since added white speckled, and black clay. We try and show off the clay body on each piece. Not hiding it behind glaze, but working with the glaze to create a beautiful piece of art, that is also functional. With history and texture. Creating our own Mexican-American style of art.
