Clay

Clay

Ceramists around the world work with clay in a myriad of ways. Unlike any other material it has a plasticity and fluidity that can take on many forms and portray many textures. It can have an appearance of wood, stone, paper, glass, metal,…yet be of the same material. A medium as basic as this earth component, humble, elegant, surprising, otherworldly, with a history as long as civilization. What form does it take for you? Don't miss this opportunity to be a part of "Clay" at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod.

Barro Tonalteca

During this residency we will find passion and dedication for two prehispanic, Mexican clay making traditions from Tonala Jalisco. These techniques  have been part of the Jimon family for six generations. Their artisanal lifestyle has taken them around the world sharing their knowledge as well as the history, culture and talent of their hometown.
“Barro bruñido” (Rub Clay) technique comes from the rubbing a pyrite stone on the shaped and painted pieces of clay, and as the last step they are burned in a traditional open sky tonaltecan style wood kiln.
