Help Us Transform Life in Pottery Communities
Donate to the Development of Mexican Ceramics!
To date, our programs benefiting artisans and pottery communities across Mexico have been made possible thanks to the financial support of key donor partners who are committed to this cause.
There is still much to be done for ceramics throughout the country. We invite you to join us in our efforts to improve the lives of artisans and to strengthen their talent and traditions.
With your support, Mexican potters can access academic scholarships to further their knowledge through specialized workshops offered by the National School of Ceramics.
