Familia Solis Hernandez
CERAMIC SNAKE VASE

About the Item

The Familia Solis Hernandez ceramics workshop is located in Zinapecuaro, a small village inside of the state of Michoacan. Award winner Fernando Solis is internationally recognized for his unique, creative and colorful designs based on the Purpecha tribe from the state of Michoacan, Mexico have earned many awards and national recognition for their refined sense of aesthetics and discernment in shapes and color. Their one-of-a-kind museum quality ceramic art is fired at a medium temperature to enhance negative design detail, a process that requires extra firing to create the desired texture and focus. This technique is known as burnished, which is involves polishing the clay with the use of many tools and raw materials to achieve a bright, fine sheen. Both artists are highly regarded ceramic teachers who concentrate on the preservation of their techniques and the replication of Purepecha culture artifacts from the region where they live. The Solis-Hernandez workshop has specialized in ceramics since 1850.
