About The Technique

Santo Domingo Tonaltepec is one of the few places in the world using vegetable pigments to decorate pottery. The pieces are fired in a stone oven which may have pre-Hispanic origins. Afterwards each piece is dyed with expressive splashes of tannin pigment (tree bark ink). This beautiful example of pottery is hard to find and the tradition is in danger of disappearing. Since 2015, Colectivo 1050 ° collaborates with three families from this village supporting the development of their trade by fostering innovation and provide them access to new markets.
