Ruby Mountain Goods

Check out our new collection of Oaxacan ceramics by Sara Garcia Mendoza, a talented artisan in her own right and the youngest daughter of the famed Maestro Jose Garcia Antonio and Maestra Teresita Mendoza Reyna Sanchez. Their family studio Taller Manos Que Ven (“Workshop Hands That See”) is one of the most celebrated ceramic folk art studios in Oaxaca.

Over two decades ago Sara’s father, Maestro Jose Garcia, lost his vision to glaucoma. He now makes large-scale forms from memory and imagination and his wife finishes the details. His wife is his greatest love and muse and many of his pieces feature her face, complete with the mole on her forehead. Sara and her siblings work as pottery artisans in the studio, interpreting the family’s themes through their own distinct styles. Most of Sara’s pieces in our collection feature her mother’s face.
