I supplemented my income as a salesperson for a ceramics workshop and eventually I opened my own ‘Talavera’ ceramics workshop. I’ve taken quite a few ceramic courses around the country and my technique is completely handcrafted. Over the years my workshop has grown to such an extent that I can now offer work to people in my community.’What is Worldstock?The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design.
