more than 10 years carrying out this activity.
How did they learn to do it?
Due to the need, she learned how to do it, since her husband left her and needs a source of income, so she began to practice in order to make them and her daughter was the one who painted it. His children, as part of the tradition, learned to do work with stone. with which they continued to add options in their product offer.

How do you do the activity?
Work in clay: first you must look for the raw material, the mud. This is strained into a saran, when it is clean, sand is added and kneaded until it is compact and you can make the piece you want by hand. Then it is baked and subsequently painted in case you want to do it. The paints exist a large amount of variety, those that allow it to be given the desired finish, before baking them, make an aging process so that they remain as old original pieces.
