Arenal Burnished Clay Handmade Pendant

Arenal​ ​Burnished​ ​Clay​ ​Handmade​ ​Pendant​ ​Lamp​ ​

Representative​ ​technique​ ​of​ ​Tonalá,​ ​Jalisco,​ ​Mexico,​ ​a​ ​city​ ​known​ ​as​ ​'pottery​ ​cradle',​ ​due​ ​to​ ​its​ ​historical​ ​and​ ​cultural​ ​heritage.
The​ ​burnished​ ​clay​ ​technique,​ ​classified​ ​for​ ​its​ ​function​ ​and​ ​decoration​ ​as​ ​'earthenware',​ ​has​ ​its​ ​peculiarity​ ​in​ ​the​ ​shine​ ​of
pieces​ ​that​ ​are​ ​obtained​ ​by​ ​rubbing​ ​them​ ​with​ ​a​ ​metallic​ ​stone​ ​called​ ​pyrite.

Its​ ​process​ ​begins​ ​by​ ​smoothing​ ​the​ ​piece​ ​with​ ​sandpaper​ ​moistened​ ​with​ ​water​ ​following​ ​by​ ​river​ ​stones.​ ​Once​ ​the​ ​piece​ ​is​ ​completely​ ​dry,​ ​the​ ​colors​ ​for​ ​its​ ​decoration​ ​are​ ​chosen​ ​using​ ​only​ ​mineral​ ​colors,​ ​to​ ​finalize​ ​the​ ​process​ ​with​ ​the​ ​burnishing.

The​ ​whole​ ​process​ ​is​ ​done​ ​before​ ​the​ ​burning​ ​stage.​ ​Until​ ​that​ ​specific​ ​moment​ ​is​ ​when​ ​we​ ​obtain​ ​a​ ​beautiful​ ​final​ ​piece.


The​ ​Arenal​ ​lamp​ ​is​ ​perfect​ ​in​ ​the​ ​bedroom​ ​as​ ​a​ ​hanging​ ​pendant​ ​bedside​ ​lamp,​ ​as​ ​kitchen​ ​island​ ​lights​ ​or​ ​simply​ ​as​ ​accent​ ​lighting​ ​in​ ​those​ ​special​ ​spots​ ​at​ ​home.​ ​
