Discover the Timeless Art of Pottery in Tulum and Yucatan.

Since 2018, Tulum Art Club has been a pivotal force in preserving and promoting ancient Mayan pottery techniques, thanks to our enduring partnership with the esteemed Espadas Family. As the sole custodians of this venerable craft in the Yucatan Peninsula, the Espadas have been instrumental in keeping their ancestral traditions alive.
