Ceramics of Huancas

                                                                         Gabriella Filgueira

"Like in the old days, the women make pots of different sizes and types and even home adornments, such as candlesticks and incense burners characterized by their porous texture and which follow they styles of manufacture of the ancestors with decoration that all together does not damage the environment. Every step of the process is a small ritual.

...

Just as in life, the law of the survival of the fittest rules in the cusana. The pieces that do not rise to exact and proportional measures of materials break as if by magic. Not even the most advanced industry has such a sophisticated and rigorous rule."


The fire gods of ceramics are a fickle bunch
