“We don’t see it as help but rather a collaborative work where we both learn. The artisans also learn with the work they do with us.  We...perhaps...open them to experimenting more with their work.  And they inspire us to dedicate our time to this craft,” says Textile Designer Denisse Kuri while working on a piece in her studio. 


 

 

 

BROKEN plates in bright colors form a teardrop below a window of Angélica Moreno’s pottery studio. Broken dishes — little half-moons and smiles — also decorate stairs, and poke out from a tiled wall, with an amoeba-shaped window reminiscent of Gaudí.

“Why throw them out?” Ms. Moreno said of all the chips and pieces. “To get where I am, I broke a lot of pottery. It’s humbling to keep it.”
