Husband and wife, Fernando Macas and Monica Cartuche live in Cera, a small town in the province of Loja situated in the Andes of southern Ecuador. Cera is a town historically known for black and terracotta earthenware. As a young couple Fernando and Monica add modern design and creative flair to traditional models. All their pieces are hand molded or made on a foot powered wheel. They are fired in a handmade kiln. The black nature of this stoneware is a result of sitting it in a pile eucalyptus bark and savings after being fired. There are no glazes used.
Various styles. Made in Ecuador from organic clay.
