The Tzeltal Mayan women potters of Amatenango Del Valle town located 40km southeast of San Cristobal de las Casas town in the Chiapas State of Mexico are renowned potters who use a pre-Hispanic method of firing the pottery with a wooden fire placed all around the clay pottery instead of firing in a kiln.
