Pottery of Metepec

The pottery of Metepec is that of a municipality in central Mexico, located near Mexico City. It is noted for durable utilitarian items but more noted for its decorative and ritual items, especially sculptures called “trees of life,” decorative plaques in sun and moon shapes and mermaid like figures called Tlanchanas. Metepec potters such as the Soteno family have won national and international recognition for their work and the town hosts the annual Concurso Nacional de Alfarería y Cerámica.

Metepec is one of a number of ceramic centers in Mexico, along with Oaxaca, Puebla, various parts of Michoacán and the Guadalajara area although it produces a significantly smaller quantity.〔Artes de México p 47, 51〕 While other handcrafts are made in the municipality, pottery is the most important. The creation of pottery in Metepec is traditional, family-oriented and of a distinctive local design and manufacture. It maintains many of its traditional techniques from the colonial period, passed down in pottery making families usually done by men but women are also involved. In many areas such as the neighborhood of Cuaxustenco, family homes double as workshops able to handle all phases of creation including firing. The pottery can be distinguished by both the clays it uses as well as its shapes and decorative styles, which unique to the area although not absolutely purist.〔Artes de México p 47-50〕 The clay used in Metepec pottery is extracted from neighboring areas such as Octotitlán, San Felipe Tlamimilolpan and Tlacotepec. This originally was down with cart and donkey but today is done with motorized vehicles.〔Artes de México p 57-60〕 There are three main clays, red, a sandy yellow and black.〔〔Artes de México p 49〕 The most traditional shaping method is coiling over a tortilla-like base.〔
