Quinua is famous for its clay with red and cream tones which is used to produce these ceramic pieces.
Artisans working from small home-based workshops begin by mixing the clay with water
and then pressing it into molds.
The pieces are baked in wood or gas-fired ovens to cure, and then painted by hand.
