About our Artist: My name is Ivan Martinez and I was born in the state of San Luis Potosi. Since I was very young, I had the good fortune to be in the field of making Talavera-style ceramic pieces. It was my parents who started the heritage of ceramics, and thanks to them I learned their secrets and processes. I became interested in creating modern pieces using ancient ceramic techniques, such as baking and high temperature decoration. I decide to focus more on creating colorful designs on general utility pieces for every aspect of the home. Each piece has a very special sense of inspiration for each member of the team. The main goal is to continue preserving the beautiful tradition; as well as capturing a part of each one of us in the beautiful decorations. As we are a family, the beginning of this beautiful project implied a lot of commitment from each member. We want to continue growing as an artisan family, creating new and colorful pieces for the utility of everyday life, to give a touch of color to the home.
