Ceramic crafts

Mecenas Arts and Crafts offers exclusive designs in ceramic crafts, with red, white and black pottery; being of a very elaborate aborigine projection, they evoke pre-Incan cultures, as for example, the Chavin, whose development goes back to the period between the years 900 and 200 B.C. Natives from this culture used black pottery and decorated their handcrafts with bones, metal and weaving pieces to represent religious ideas and beliefs.

Nowadays they are still produced following the ancestral techniques of fabrication, to obtain unique pieces of art, and to keep alive their rich culture. The ceramic crafts the diaguitas made represented autochthonous animals and symbols characteristic of their culture.

The aborigines in Argentina living in the province of La Pampa make rustic handcrafts in baked pottery using other elements such as coal, sawdust, etc, to give the objects a characteristic color. In Salta, black pottery crafts are heritage from the diaguita and Calchaqui indigenous communities. These beautiful ceramic crafts highlight your places at home, giving a much personal touch.

In the province of Chaco they also work with ceramic, as well as doing wickerwork and weaving. They take part of business events to present their handcrafts and other art objects, and they get benefits from them. The members of the community of artisans from Chaco are descendants of mocovies and matacos and there are about 35,000 people who live on the production of their handmade products.
