"Internationally recognized and Award Winner Gorky Gonzalez and his workshop have dedicated their work to rescue the traditional majolica of Guanajuato, Mexico.  Each piece is carefully handcrafted
Gorky Gonzalez was born in the city of Morelia, Michoacan, on September 27th, 1939.
He is the son of sculptor Rodolfo Gonzalez, with whom he worked and studied sculpture and casting of artistic objects in bronze and lost wax.
In 1962, at 23, Gorky worked in San Miguel de Allende, a village located in the State of Guanajuato, at the school of Arts and the Allende Institute, where he build an artistic foundry attended by both students an professional sculptors. Later he founded a small workshop of terra cotta manufacturing in the village of Marfil, where he reproduced Jean Byron’s designs.
His main interest has always been rescuing the traditional majolica.
He studied ceramics in Guanajuato, which probably prompted him rescue this lost craft which represent one of the cultural and historical values of this region."
