Chulucanas

There are several bigger companies but a lot of small manufactures are in Chulucanas itself and in the nearby village of Quatro Esquinas.

[7] Operating in Chulucanas is Victor's Vision, a nonprofit organization which provides supplemental academic and personal support, guidance, and resources to bright, impoverished youth.

The main natural components of Chulucanas pottery are clay, sand, mango leaves and the climate.

The artisans mold the raw clay with their hands and feet, and then use wooden pallets and stones in order to better shape it.

Then the pieces are placed in an oven and submerged for hours in the smoke of burning mango leaves, which give Chulucanas pottery its characteristic black color.
