"The clay is also shaping us." Guadalupe García Rios.

A wonderful thing about the Feria is that there are always surprises.

Guadalupe García Rios

Guadalupe García Rios opened her "Story behind the Art" presentation about high-fired ceramics with a short video which made us laugh, cry and fall in love with her art and with her.


Guadalupe loves clay. At one point in the video she proves her passion by flinging herself face first into a pile of clay.


Don't miss this beautiful and inspiring video done by two incredibly talented young people: Alma Silva and  Helios Nieto, who spent a month with Guadalupe and captured her heart and the brilliance of this folk art. Thank you Alma and Helios for permission to share this touching video.
