Juana Gómez Ramírez stands out as a celebrated Tzeltal artisan. Juana, inspired by the Maya's reverence for jaguars, began crafting these majestic creatures at age twelve. Despite never seeing a jaguar in real life, Juana felt its energy every time she sculpted one, making each piece unique. Her intricate process, blending traditions with personal touch, involves kneading clay with sand and water, sculpting, and then polishing with a river stone. The final pieces are then fired outdoors in a pre-Hispanic clay baking method. Despite being made of clay, Juana's jaguars feel alive, earning her acclaim beyond her hometown in the Altos de Chiapas. Today, rather than taking her creations to markets, buyers seek Juana in her off-the-beaten-path workshop.
