The Castillo family's artistry has been featured in periodicals ranging from Sunset magazine to The Cincinnati Inquirer. They have been hand-crafting Talavera-style ceramics in Guanajuato, Mexico for many years. Talavera dates from the colonial period when Spanish priests taught indigenous peoples to craft ceramics using Majolica techniques, and has evolved as a style of its own. To create this Talavera-style art, native clays of the region are mixed, then liquified and poured into molds. Once the creation is dry, it is smoothed, then permitted to dry completely before being fired at 950 degrees Celsius. After firing, the ceramic is submerged into glaze, then left to dry. The design is sketched onto the clay and the outlines and patterns are painted by hand with fine brushes. Finally, the piece is high-fired at 1,000 degrees Celsius to crystallize the colors.
