The Ortiz family has been making Barro Negro for many generations and the fourth generation continues with the tradition. Their family-run studio employs over a dozen families in their community as they've expanded over the years.

Barro Negro pieces are one of the most sought-after pottery styles in Mexico. The origins of Barro negro pottery go back to the Monte Albán period (500 BC), with examples of it found at archeological sites. It has remained a traditional craft of the Zapotecs and Mixtecs of the Central Valley area of Oaxaca.

Each piece is handcrafted using locally-sourced Barro Negro, or black clay. No glaze or dyes are used, the clay acquires its color from the special mud in Coyotepec and the smoke used when baked.

Made from 100% Mexican black clay (barro negro)
