Pottery of Mexico: Pineapples of Patamban and San José de Gracia
 |
Pottery has been made both for use and decoration in Mexico since pre-Columbian times, and in many villages the same methods and traditions are still in use today. Michoacán state, located in the southwestern part of Mexico, is especially rich in crafts-producing villages—each one with its unique product. Most work is for local consumption though some produce grander works for a wider audience. DVD 40 Minutes

A culture of sustainability
In this video, a potter and a filmmaker work together to beautifully document potters in two neighboring villages—Patamban and San José de Gracia. This documentary covers how the potters produce their low-fire pieces from start to finish. |
 |
| Local clay is collected, processed, shaped in bisque molds, embellished with applied sprig textures, and then fired in wood-burning kilns. The film also reveals a culture of sustainability in which each generation gathers its materials locally and creates tools from what is at hand. |
