What is Earthenware?
As a subcategory of ceramics, Earthenware is traditionally made from ‘red earthenware’ clay or ‘red terra-cotta’. However, some earthenware clays are buff, grey, or white. They cannot be made completely watertight because of their porosity, and it is because of this that burnishes and glazes are applied to increase their usefulness.
Mujeres del Barro Rojo is a collective of 15 women who create terra cotta pottery in the hilly and rocky mountains of the Zapotec town of San Marcos Tlapazola, Oaxaca. The process starts when the Mateo Sanchez family gathers clay from the mountain side. The clay is then cleansed of roots and debris, and mixed with sand so that it can become a workable material. Each piece is meticulously molded by hand with simple tools, sun dried, and cooked over an open fire pit.
