Nothing is wasted in a place that hides, for the most virtuous, everything it can give.

Each piece is a magical story, each product an offering to life and a container of everything that is felt and means, even if it is not seen.

Ceramics made by hands that inherited a unique way of transmitting what they are made of, learned from their women for more than 100 years.

Casuchi dust and mud, dried in the sun and shined with stone, decorated with paths and sheep's huts. An ancestral legacy that makes the land useful for storing water and chicha, in the only Wayúu ceramics workshop left in La Guajira.
