The Talavera Project / Un Proyecto de Talavera

A research collaboration with Uriarte Talavera—Mexico’s first certified Talavera workshop—bridges ancestral craftsmanship and technological innovation. Confronting production waste and limited innovation, the project leverages tools like robotic 3D printing to revive circular, sustainable practices. It redefines artisanal labor, preserving cultural heritage while fostering a socially just, future-forward production model.
