"I am honored and exhilarated to collaborate with real artisans who have been working for many years with talavera. I am able to learn more about the process and better understand the techniques that have been used for centuries. I am motivated by the learning process, it is the exploration of my culture, heritage and about myself and most importantly "My Mexico" because talavera is Mexico," declares Garcia.
