"The art of working with laca was originally brought to Guerrero from the Orient in the 1600 and 1700s via the Manilla clipper ships. Most people living in Olinalá work in lacquer and produce lacquerware similar to the finest examples produced in China and their work is exported all over the world.
Wood is the base of the lacquerware ... They begin by sanding the wood and then sealing it with a varnish made from natural oils and earthen pigments such as ground dirt and rocks found near Olinalá. After drying, a stone is used to burnish the surface until it is smooth. More powdered pigments are mixed with oil and multiple layers are applied until the desired tone and shine is achieved. After drying for up to a month, the piece is ready for decoration. Using homemade brushes made from turkey feathers, the designs are sketched."
