We will learn also about the life style and cosmovision of the indigenous families.
  • This type of pottery is more decorative, not utilitarian. We will experience how people work with the black pottery and see how they still use the prehispanic lathe to make classic, modern and master pieces. All the decoration and brightness on the pieces is made by hand! People is so proud about what they do so we can ask questions and take photos freely.
