When you get to their house you walk through it and out the back door, across the courtyard and into the workshop/studio. It is a modest place with well-tended plants all around.
We were fortunate that a shipment of pieces had just returned from a show in Morelia. The following photo is a preview of things that will be in the shop and maybe on the website in the near future.
You Day of the Dead fans have probably never seen such a fine Catrina plate! And the detailed painting on the large olla (the covered pot on stand) took our breath away.
We marvel at the tiny, precise dots that adorn the pottery. You can see a salsa bowl and spoon in a similar style on the Chiripa website.We were sorry to hear that the son has recently taken a construction job to supplement the family income. We hope that we can help create a demand for their lead-free pottery so that he is back to work full-time making and painting more beautiful pieces like the ones you have seen here.
Next (next post), we'll stop for lunch!

Okay, I know this is a long shot but I am research information on the Rosas family from Mexico. My mother in law came from Mexico and married. Her name was Martha Rosas and bday was April 10, 1934. My husband is desperate to find out any infroamtion on his mother's life. If only they knew how much it would mean as they got older they would have found out more while she was alive. Her mother;s name was Cesaria Rosas and sisters were herminia, anna, and cruz, one brother Trinidad Herrerra Rosas. I know this may not have any connection to you but worth a shot. Thanks, email me at heatherandtommy@hotmail.com if there is anything related to you. Thanks again!
