Catherine the proud proprietor of Casa Catalina is a long time resident of Todos Santos for almost 20 years. She has been quite an entrepreneur having had organic farms, organic produce distribution, a beauty salon, is an artist and supports local pottery workers who are still making pottery using the original methods. Catherine is very personable and has lots of stories to tell.
Casa Catalina is the exclusive distributor of very unique local hand worked pottery made by a select few local artists living in age old conditions on small ranches in the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains. Catherine goes into the mountains herself, explores and personally selects the pottery from the elderly crafts people. The 5 potters are from the original areas that made this pottery, not from Candelaria, and still produce work using generations old techniques digging the clay out of the ranch land, hand forming and finishing the pottery and firing it in traditional wood fired ovens.
