Nicaraguan Art Pottery

Lourdes Martinez

 

Lourdes learned her art from her mother and currently

operates a shop located along the main street of San Juan

along with her two children. She has been producing

pottery for the past 20 years and focuses on a wide range

of traditional designs. She has had her own workshop

for the past ten years and works alone with her son and

daughter.

 

Lourdes is one of our featured women artists.  The art of pottery

making in San Juan de Oriente was traditioally the work of the

women in the village who produced utilitarian pieces for daily use

and some decorative and ceremonial pottery.  However, with the

recent trend of producing pottery as a local art form a number of

men have become involved and entire families operate local workshops.
