Lorna Hankins La Candelaria Pottery Vessel. 7 5/8" tall with no cracks, chips,<br>or restorations.LORNA HANKINSLorna Hankins, is the well-known potter of La<br>Candelaria that has put this small ranch village located in the mountains<br>between Cabo San Lucas and Todos Santos on the map, by reviving the ancient<br>methods of creating functional pottery. Lorna is an American with a Masters<br>degree in Fine Arts in the disciplines of Metal Smithing and Jewelry design. She<br>came to Los Cabos for the first time to escape the damp winter of the Northwest<br>and to practice her Spanish. She discovered the small town of La Candelaria and<br>she fell in love with the people, location and lifestyle. She was originally<br>taught the ancient tradition of pottery-making by a woman in the village and it<br>soon became Lorena’s passion to share the knowledge and techniques that she<br>quickly mastered. She taught others in the small town and in no time locals and<br>tourists alike began to hear of the pottery of La Candelaria. Her pieces are<br>beautiful and functional, each being glaze-free and food safe. Her clay is<br>local, the pieces are made and fired in La Candelaria and can be used to cook on<br>an open flame and in the oven, as well as to just be enjoyed as sculpture.TW210
