The mud
The use of clay (aliminosilicate mineral of great abundance and special properties) is almost as old as the existence of man on Earth, an has accompanied him in his daily activities.
Ceramics
Currently, the word ceramic designates the immense set of products made from aluminosilicates transformed by the action of fire.
Ceramics have been the ideal medium for the most beautiful arts.
Uses of the mud
Man's life had to be transformed by acquiring the ability to make earthen tools, from vessels and ritual objects, bricks and tiles for construction.
In addition, ceramics has been the ideal medium for the most beautiful arts.
Evolution
The Neolithic period left as an inheritance the procedure of smoking, as well as smoothing and burnishing. With the arrival of Spaniards in America, new forms and finishes arose that would end up producing different types of pottery that, in the end, would acquire original ethnic characteristics.
There are multiple procedures and finishes for clay such as smoked, smoothed and burnished, and finishes such as natural clay, black, cinnamon, glazed, among many others.
The good potter:
Put care in things
teach the clay to lie,
speak with your own heart, i
t makes things live, it creates them.
... He knows everything as if he were a Toltec, he makes his hands skillful.
