• While both Santa Clara and Cuanajo are located in close proximity to Lake Pátzcuaro, other towns and villages farther away also have their own native crafts.
• In Zinapécuaro, J. Ventura Hernández Benítez remains solidly committed to his ceramic business as he has been for 40 years.
•  
• The workshop's rustic brick walls, held up a corrugated metal roof, have his creations which seemed to gestate in the heat.
• Homemade plaster molds, pots, vases and pitchers that required weeks of labor - lay about the shop in the hypnotic chaos of a true artisan.
•  
• Small ceramic pumpkins sit on the concrete floor in front of a shelf loaded with vases covered with images of skeletons dressed in fiesta garb, geometric patterns of terraces and triangles, stylized dogs, fish and monkeys.
• Pots in subtle shades of dark red ocher, greenish umber and bluish gray sat nearby.

Great and wonderful vase for any home, office or as a gift for someone special.
