Elena Felipe Félix & Family — Huancito, Michoacán

Elena and her family continue the Purépecha tradition of barro bruñido (burnished clay) in Huancito, Michoacán, where pottery is both art and everyday life. From sourcing local clay to hand-painting fine lines and polishing each piece with a smooth stone, their process reflects generations of care and technique. Elena’s work bridges heritage and modern design — each vessel carrying the warmth, texture, and spirit of Huancito, Michoacán.

Maestra Elena is a nationally awarded artisan and recognized as a master of Mexican folk art, preserving heritage with her craft.

• Clean: Rinse occasionally with warm water and gently scrub away any soap residue using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives to preserve the natural clay finish.
• Dry: Let the dish air dry completely before storing. This keeps the clay strong and prevents moisture buildup.
• Avoid Prolonged Water Exposure: Barro is a natural, porous material — while durable, it’s best not to leave it soaking in water in the sink for long periods.
• Handle with Care: Each piece is handmade and unique.

Do Put in the Dishwasher!
