What Alfareria Tradicional Gorky Gonzalez is known for

Gorky Gonzalez trained in sculpture and studied pottery in Japan before dedicating his Pastita workshop to reviving Guanajuato's centuries-old mayolica, and its kilns still fire tin-glazed plates and dishware in the region's historic patterns. The Alfareria Tradicional in Guanajuato city is among Mexico's most respected majolica houses.
