Pottery is born from contact with clay, preserving those marks throughout its process. Each piece holds the memory of a people who still dedicate their days to shaping it.
In Matambú territory, in the home and workshop of the Mendoza sisters; Doña Eugenia and Doña Regina, pottery is part of daily life. Since they were little girls, clay has been a constant presence. They collect clay and sand from the riverbank to patiently mold it until each piece takes shape on the wheel.
With them, we co-created a collection in honor of their mother, as a way to recognize this legacy that is passed down, cared for, and still endures.
Where life and work happen at the same time
In Guaitil, clay becomes part of everyday life in an almost silent way. It's in the hands, in the yards, in the spaces where life and work happen simultaneously. There is a calmness in how things are done that doesn't seek to change, but to continue. The forms emerge from what has been learned over time, by observing, doing, making mistakes
starting over, without haste. Being there means feeling that everything has its own rhythm, that nothing is forced, and that what remains is not only the technique, but the way each person relates to what they do. In this process, we worked alongside artisan Andy Campos, sharing his way of understanding and shaping clay up close.
