Little has changed in the manufacturing process of Talavera tiles, since their inception in Mexico in 1653, when a potters’ guild was formed to regulate their manufacturing. Today, the basic process remains virtually the same.
The Day of the Dead is a festivity which originated in Mexico over 500 years ago, to honor their dead in the after-life. It is also a celebration of life after death, and takes place each year on the 2nd of November. Though now considered a Catholic festivity, other countries are also now celebrating this date with parades.
