Product Description
Ceramic nativity scene, Star of Bethlehem: Home & Kitchen. We use clay and simple tools; paints and pigments are blended together to produce the required hues, like that of the skin. NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, offers thousands of limited edition and one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry, and home decor treasures handmade by master artists and artisans throughout the world. Hanging low in the sky, the Christmas star pauses above the stable where baby Jesus sleeps in a manger. Joseph stands alertly by the door but Mary steals a peek at her beautiful child. Framed in glowing haloes, the Holy Family expresses their awe in a nativity scene by Alberto Aparicio Canchari. Artisan Info: Alberto Aparicio Canchari was born in Ayacucho in 1965. A dedicated ceramist, he is inspired by the customs and beliefs of Andean villages. His workshop seems inhabited by half-finished creatures, waiting for him to give them the breath of life. I've been a ceramist since I was a child, as my parents taught me the craft. Later, I tried to develop my own pieces with a personal style. My main purpose is giving life to my creations, and I've achieved this through the expressions of their faces, aiming to reflect daily attitudes, Peruvian country scenes, even protests - and I'm satisfied and content. In the workshop I work full-time with my wife. Most of our pieces are hand-molded, as only the weight of the hand can give the right shape. All are made to resist high temperatures.
