Guadalupe is known for her intricate design and slip work on her pottery. In this workshop she will demonstrate to participants how she developes her designs then transfers her ideas on to her pieces.

Guadalupe is a ceramicst and quilter that has been working in Huntsville since moving from her native Mexico in 1985. She studied ceramic arts at Centro de Artesanias y Artes Plasticas Independencia, Mexico City. She has been twice recognized as an Alabama State Council on the Arts Fellowship recipient and has received a number of awards throughout her career. "A great fascination with different-colored clays and their texture has led me to experiment and study clay for the past forty years. I have great reverence for the idea of craftsmanship and it is a factor I try to maintain. My work has developed from the respect I have for the material and the joy I experience when working with it. Making objects of integrity that could contribute to the traditions in pottery thousands of years old is a continuous responsibility. After living in Alabama for so many years, something of the Southern Culture was bound to influence me. Quilting has become a source of artistic integration."
