Colores Del Suelo

Colores Del Suelo is a family-run ceramic workshop based in Oaxaca, Mexico. The family has been working with clay for over 90 years, a tradition started by their grandmother, Teodora Blanco. She was known for her unique techniques and attention to detail, which helped shape the family's approach to ceramic craftsmanship.

Today, multiple generations of the family continue the work Teodora began. Each member contributes to the design, shaping, and finishing of the pottery. Their pieces reflect traditional Oaxacan styles, but they also experiment with new forms and finishes. The goal of Colores Del Suelo is to preserve their heritage while making high-quality ceramic art that can be appreciated around the world.
