Mexican Handmade Pottery by Roberto Castañeda

Wolfgang and Luke introduces an innovative line in the world of pottery. Made in a charming mountain village, the artist challenges your preconceptions of Mexican pottery. Adaptable and functional in any place, it creates a wonderful atmosphere for its unique and exclusive style. In terms of technique, these pieces are just like any ceramic made by hand in the world. In aesthetic terms it is a contemporary pottery movement, representing a modern society and its environment, but never forgetting their traditional methods of ancient pottery, which make up its beauty. The designs of the pieces reflects Nature in shape and color, because Nature represents an endless dialogue between the evolution of the potter and the three principal elements for the creation of clay: water, earth and fire.

”What prompted you to make your own pottery? To go into this business?”
Having come from a Family Pottery Tradition, I found a need to create functional and utilitarian ceramics appropriate to the new trends in modernist architecture in the world without abandoning the traditional methods of ceramics.

”Where do the designs come from? What is the inspiration?”
Our design creations are based on the environments that surround us and the exploration of new trends.
Our inspiration lies in the intricate part of creating.
The biznaga ceramic piece is inspired by the high reliefs of the cactus, and the challenge to replicate.

”What are the materials used?”
We use White clay (which is endemic to the area) and Red clay, covered with ceramic bases, various enamels, oxides, earths, etc.

”What equipment is used?”
The pottery is all hand-made.
The pieces are subjected to a process of elaboration by hand, drying at natural time, burning with the first fire, enameling process, and burning with the second fire.

”Anything about you/your company/your product that you want to share?”
We open our doors to the world to share our work and essence.
Together We Are Stronger.
