Artisan story
Celebrating the Legacy of Bernardo Camacho Quiroz
Bernardo Camacho Quiroz shaped clay from the age of six and gave his life to it. This collection is what his hands left behind.
Four generations in Metepec
This collection celebrates the life and work of Bernardo Camacho Quiroz, a fourth-generation ceramist from Metepec, México, who began shaping clay at the age of six and dedicated his life to the craft. His spirit lives on through his pottery and the cultural heritage he helped preserve.
Shown abroad, and a world record
Bernardo shared his work internationally, exhibiting glossy hand-painted dishes, clay stoves, and other functional yet decorative pieces. In 2014, he earned a Guinness World Record for creating the world’s largest clay cazuela.
We go back to the same workshops year after year rather than looking for whatever is easiest to source. There is more about how we work on our story page.
