Generation of Artisans

The other local artist we visited was the Oven Store. Here we met Susan - who along with her husband Jesus, his brother and other family members - create art in the tradition of their forefathers.

Susan was just doing some last minute clean up when we arrived. Their store and home was very modest with her young daughter inside an open room watching cartoons on a very modern TV.

Susan, who spoke English as well, explained the process and designs to me. She told me about the family artist who had made a particular piece and showing me a photograph.

The igloo shaped oven is used for firing the pottery.
