The elegance of Oaxacan earth.
Barro Negro, or Black Clay, is one of Oaxaca's most emblematic and sophisticated pottery traditions. In the workshops of San Bartolo Coyotepec, you'll uncover the secret of this unique ceramic, famous for its characteristic metallic sheen and deep black color, achieved through a special firing process. Crafting each figure requires up to 20 days of work, a testament to the artisans' patience and mastery.
