I was born in Lima, Peru. One day, I had the urge to travel to Chulucanas. And there I understood that this is my world. I stayed in Chulucanas and began to work with local communities there. In the classic style of Chulucanas, a piece is shaped on a potter's wheel and fired in a wood-burning kiln. The piece is decorated by hand using engobe (colored slip or liquid clay). A controlled smoking process using dried mango leaves achieves the dark tones. Finally, the piece is waxed and polished with a river stone.'
