Salvador Vázquez of Tonalá
 

The town of Tonalá is located near Guadalajara in the state of Jalisco and is the home of the famous potter, Salvador Vázquez, a true master of bruńido (burnished) pottery.

Salvador is a true master in the techniques of burnished pottery and making natural dyes, and his elegant designs and traditional pottery forms are legendary. At the age of six, Salvador was already learning from his mother smoothing techniques, painting and firing the clay. Later, he studied with Jorge Wilmot (another legend in the world of pottery), where he worked for 20 years. Here he began to develop his vision, to define his own "style" and develop the colors he has become known for all over the world.

Salvador has won prizes all over the world and he is featured in the book "Great Masters of Mexican Folk Art".
