The town of Tonalá, Mexico, has a long history with clay, dating back to the pre-Hispanic period and enduring to the present day. Tonalá’s contemporary dedication to ceramic arts was spurred by Early Modern Europeans’ obsession with the quality of the region’s clay beginning in the early sixteenth century.
