Mexican Talavera - The Magical Talavera of Dolores Hidalgo, Mexico and HOW ITS MADE

Ever wondered exactly how are those colorful pieces of Mexican pottery are made? This video was filmed in the charming town of Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato where our stunning Mexican Talavera Collection hails from. We will take you behind the scenes through our artisan's workshop and show you the ENTIRE PROCESS. You will see exactly how the raw clay from the surrounding hills is transformed into the vibrant Talavera pieces that we all know and love.
We start by showing you how the clay is collected and mixed into a liquid solution that is then poured into molds to form the Talavera pieces. Next we will take you into the artisan workshops where the pieces are carved, cleaned, and polished by hand. They will then undergo the first firing, you don't want to miss this part - the sheer size and capacity of the oven is very impressive! You will then get to see how the talented artisans paint every single piece by hand. Watching their brushstrokes is both captivating and inspiring, its hard to fathom that they are capable of producing these incredible designs using only a few simple tools and their imagination. The pieces will undergo one more firing to finally be transformed into the magical art that is Mexican Talavera! Summarizing the entire process in one paragraph simply does not do it justice, you must watch the video to see for yourself!
We hope you enjoy this video, that you find it informative, and that it deepens your appreciation for the art.

Absolutely stunning. We loved learning about Talavera tile in Morocco and have been fans ever since. The process is really fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.

If you already figured out a way to screw the wide diameter cylinder part of a plastic bottle together, and it is still not completely air and liquid tight. Then a little bit more heatwork will solve that. greyishgreblum, "Pottery tap and die" w/ "cookie cutter" tap tool modification💜

una disculpa, y una pregunta , su ciudad cuenta con el certificado de denominacion de origen? por que hasta donde yo se solo las ciudades de puebla, cholula, tecali y atlixco en el estado de puebla asi como san pablo del monte en tlaxcala cuentan con este certificado si ustedes no cuentan con este certificado estan vendiendo ceramica no talavera y estan engañando a sus clientes

[@saulgomezbeltran3527]

Hola Joel! Gracias por tu interes, la ciudad de Dolores Hidalgo en Guanajuato no cuenta con la denominacion de origen y efectivamente estamos vendiendo Ceramica. Usamos el nombre de Talavera aca en Canada porque es asi como el cliente lo identifica. Piezas de Ceramica (tecnica talavera) de calidad!

[@auryx1207]

Joel. La Talavera asi como Majolica son una tecnica. Es decir. Si una persona sabe pintar *al fresco* entonces sabe la tecnica y no significa que esa persona este haciendo una version *generica* de la pintura Romana por ejemplo, o si sabe hacer vitrales con toda su tecnica y hace producto para vender no significa que este vendiendo un vitral *pirata* de la epoca gotica inglesa o de una mesquita Arabica.
La talavera no solo se produce en 3 ciudades mexicanas. Los tacos no son exclusivos de una ciudad.

Saludos desde Texas 🌵👋

Miami valid as, major precio

[@jlfoodforest]

If it's done in Hidalgo it's NOT talavera, it's ceramica

[@wintermatherne2524]

Same quality, better price!
