José Juan Aguilar is the son of Josefina, who has been a well-known ceramic folk artist for many decades, working in Ocotlán, a village near Oaxaca. José Juan is continuing the tradition Josefina and her sisters began, with even more refined craftsmanship and a truly beautiful color palette. His ceramic sculptures range from clever and funny ideas to beautiful country scenes to depictions of his distinctive culture to deeply spiritual themes. |

If Mexico designated “National Living Treasures,” as Japan does, Gustavo Pérez would surely be at the top of the list, for he stands alone as a Mexican ceramic artist who is internationally celebrated and admired. We have an unusual opportunity here in San Miguel to view a large selection of his work.
Every purchase helps to support a hard-working, creative family of artists and to keep alive a rich aspect of Mexican culture and history.
