Pre-Columbian hands still shaping clay
The village of Guaitil in Guanacaste is where Chorotega ceramic tradition has survived 2,000 years. Women work in open-air workshops, mixing local clay with volcanic rock, building pots by hand without a wheel. The geometric patterns are codified, passed from mother to daughter, unchanged.
