I'm Rafael Medel Arellano and I was born in Lima, Peru. One day I had the urge to travel to Chulucanas. I believe I already had art in my blood from my contact with my brother. I stayed in Chulucanas and began to work with local communities there. In the classic style of Chulucanas, a piece is shaped it on a potter's wheel and fired in a wood-burning kiln. The piece is decorated by hand using engobe (colored slip or liquid clay). A controlled smoking process using dried mango leaves achieves the dark tones. Finally, the piece is waxed and polished with a river stone.' What is Worldstock? The handcrafted nature of this product will produce minor differences in design and sizing.
