Ceramic Mobile with Eight Multicolored Hummingbirds, "Circling Hummingbirds"
Jose Arriola comes from an artistic family in Guatemala; his father was a noted sculptor and his mother worked in the ceramic arts. Both had workshops in the family home, but Jose was drawn to this mother's work. Today, he makes light-hearted decorative pieces like this hummingbird mobile. He makes and paints each bird by hand, firing them in a traditional wood kiln.
