Community Project

Registro de talleres de barro- Casa Wabi
During his residency, Sebastian dedicated himself to video recording the mud workshops that are taught within the foundation and to the children of the different schools we work with. The purpose was to create a high-quality documentary video to portray the mud workshops, their relevance and the kindness of the children who come to them. He also interviewed Xóchitl Escamilla, who teaches the workshops, in order to complement the videos recorded with information about the processes of mud extraction, its treatment, its cooking and the different uses it has.
