About the Master Artisan:
Geronimo Ramos Flores: He is considered to be one of the great Potters of our time. Born in Zapotlan el Grande to a Potter family, and the oldest of 5 siblings, Geronimo started exercising his profession and devotion for pottery.
Geronimo had the opportunity to learn and became close to great artisans of the Petatillo Clay Pottery technique, such as Pedro Chavez Bernabe, and Jose Antonio Mateo Nuño, producing several displays of his great talent.
Geronimo has not only worked with Petatillo Clay, he has mastered techniques such as Burnished Clay and high temperature clay firing. He’s won several awards, on a Regional, State, and National level. He also has won the “Premio Nacional de la Ceramica” award several times over.
With a serious personality, yet with a very peculiar sense of humor, Geronimo is someone who loves his art and spends long hours in his workshop. Geronimo instills all of his knowledge and amazing creativity in each piece he creates, which can range from something as simple, as a coffee cup, to a more elaborate piece, using the most intricate decorations, worthy of the awards he’s received.
