Meet the Artist

Guillermo and Eduardo

"We began to dream about setting up our own workshop and create our own designs with the intention of becoming established and well-known. But we also have personal dreams..."

"We're Guillermo Pelaez and Eduardo Gonza, friends and brothers-in-law. We decided to bring together our expertise in... ceramic arts to start a workshop of our own, where we could create and develop our own designs.

"I, Guillermo, am from Cuzco and have experienced some difficult times in my life which started with the deaths of my dad and sister when I was only three years old. My mother passed away when I was eight years old so I was placed in an orphanage until Justina Soto adopted me two years later. She advised me and supported me in everything I could possibly need, and she made it possible for me to study accounting and electronics.

"I, Eduardo, am from Puno where I grew up with my parents and where I studied architecture. That's how I developed a love of art and the pleasure of sculpting.

"We both learned the art of ceramics with great dedication and passion. I learned at the workshop where I had been working for several years and thanks to dedicated master ceramists who shared their knowledge with me I was able to specialize in this art. Since Guillermo and I were already friends and brothers-in-law, I shared with him what I had learned.

"We began to dream about setting up our own workshop and create our own designs with the intention of becoming established and well-known. But we also have personal dreams: Guillermo wants to travel throughout Peru, and then the world! I'm always trying to create new things, so my dream is for my designs to go cross borders and reach people across the world.

"Our work includes the collaboration of artisans who help us craft our products. Our main materials are white or red clay, and sometimes we use prepared clay as it offers a different finish and is easier to work with.

"Our pieces are crafted by hand with natural and sustainable materials.

"Our inspiration comes from different sources, such as urban events in our city and nearby ones. And we are also inspired by tradition, for example our nativity scenes feature the unique regional costumes of Peru. This is with the intention of sharing an aspect of our culture with the rest of the world."

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.
