Don José
Ocotlán, Mexico Don José is a renowned potter from Ocotlán, who was recognized for his craft in the book ‘Great Masters of Oaxaca Folk Art’. He is also completely blind. His gift with shaping clay goes back to his childhood when he taught himself how to sculpt and he continued with his art even when he lost his vision to cataracts. Many of his pieces are life-size and he is known for bringing ‘sirenas’ or mermaids to life in his sculptures.
