MucugresPottery - The Mucugres Studio is comprised of five sisters and brothers who run a pottery studio high in the Andes Mountains of Venezuela. Ines Camas started the operation with her unique pottery designs inspired by pre-Columbian Art. The pottery is hand made using a slab technique and is glazed in earth tones. Her pottery became so popular that her sister and three brothers joined the studio. Their operation now provides employment for many residents of the tiny Andes town in which they live. Ines' designs are recognized by the Tayo symbol. Her sisters mark is Fagua and the three brothers are Jeku, Tawadi, and Jochi.

He and his family have been wood carvers for many years and has several brothers who also carve. Mariano is one of the most well-known of the Rangel family artists. He hand carves figures such as angels and nativity scenes from wood. Mariano is in his seventies and his immediate family all make their living in his woodworking shop - children and grandchildren helping to sand and paint his creations. His figures are carved from a type of willow wood. The back of the figures are left with the natural bark. The carved area may be left natural or painted in bright folk art colors. Mariano's sculptures are wonderful pieces of collectible folk art.
