“For me, ceramics are like a religion. You want to get out and you can’t — they won’t let you, they pull you in. They absorb you and you feel that time goes faster.”
The first time Walter Jose Acosta made a pre-Hispanic replica, or huaco, he was the youngest artisan in his ceramics workshop in Peru, with barely any experience. On the night he convinced his supervisor to let him take home a little bit of clay and a finished model piece, adrenaline kept him awake all night working. The result was a piece was so extraordinary that it earned Walter a promotion to the principal artisan in his workshop — and his journey into the fascinating world of archaeological art began.
