Story Behind the Art:
‘I learned from an early age to work hard to be able to provide for one’s family, because I had to work when I was in primary school,’ says Mexico’s Pedro Alba. ‘I’ve taken quite a few ceramic courses around the country and my technique is completely handcrafted. Over the years my workshop has grown to such an extent that I can now offer work to people in my community.’
