Casia Lucia - OAXACAN CLAY SCULPTURE

OAXACAN CLAY SCULPTURE

These Mexican clay sculptures, mostly from the state of Oaxaca, are beautiful handmade pieces created by women artisans working in primitive conditions. An increasingly popular art form, the pieces are not available outside of the location in which they are made. The women sell their work through cooperatives. There are a number of books on the subject of Oaxacan clay sculpture and many of the artisans are represented in galleries in the United States and Mexico. Each piece is unique and representative of the artist who created it. We also sell ‘black pottery’ from San Bartolo coyotepec, in the style of Dona Rosa.
