Soteno family of Metepec, Folk art ceramics workshop in Metepec, Mexico.
The Soteno family creates ceramic Trees of Life sculptures using red and yellow clay, incorporating traditional techniques passed through four generations.
The family's pottery tradition began in the early 1900s when Modesta Fernández transformed utilitarian ceramics into decorative art pieces in Metepec.
Each Tree of Life sculpture represents Mexican heritage through intricate designs featuring religious motifs, flora, fauna, and narrative scenes.
The workshop produces ceramic pieces ranging from small decorative items to large commissioned sculptures that take up to two months to complete.
Tiburcio Soteno earned recognition as Grand Master of Folk Art during his sixty-year career creating innovative ceramic sculptures.
