San Antonio-based ceramicist Patricia Castillo shares tales and images of her life’s passion, working with her family in Puebla, Mexico, to preserve their acclaimed clay art tradition. Patricia melds traditional Mexican folk art forms such as the “Arbol de la Vida” and “Day of the Dead” themes, with her unique expression of contemporary life.
