The Castillo family has many years of experience hand-crafting Talavera-style ceramics. Their workshop seeks to rescue this traditional, world-renowned ceramic style. 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 removed from its mold and smoothed, then permitted to dry completely for two more days 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.
