Gorky Gonzalez |
|
| Gorky Gonzalez, founder
and artistic director of Alfareria Tradicional, began his studies
under his father, the sculptor Rodolfo Gonzalez. In 1962, Gorky Gonzalez
built an artistic foundry in San Miguel de Allende. He founded a pottery
workshop in Guanajuato in order to reproduce the traditional Majolica of
the region. In 1965, he was granted a scholarship to study in Japan,
under the artists Tsuji Seimei and Kei Fijiwara, considered Japan's
national living treasures.
Since his return from Japan, Gorky Gonzalez has devoted himself to the preservation of the traditional, Majolica technique in Mexico, utilizing the original designs used during the colonial period. Alfareria Tradicional has become the most important Majolica workshop in Mexico. In 1992, the President of Mexico awarded Gorky Gonzalez The National Award of Sciences and Arts.
