The red clay of Oaxaca, recognized for its ancestral tradition, has its main production center in San Marcos Tlapazola.
It is made by Zapotec women using manual techniques, without a potter’s wheel, and is distinguished by its natural red color, obtained from local clays extracted from the mountains and polished with a gourd. The firing is done in the open air (or in a pit), typically lasting about an hour, during which the fire is constantly fed.
