The primitive techniques used through history are still used today by the people of Puebla and Dolores Hidalgo. Talavera pottery is handcrafted from a combination of three types of clay, which provide three shades of color. The clay is kneaded by hand or foot, shaped and dried. The pieces are then fired at an extreme heat. Once they cool, they are submerged in glaze, which brings their color to life. Patterns are then drawn and painted on the pieces. With an additional firing, the Talavera work of art is complete.
