Teponahuasco is a small peasant community located in the municipality of Cuquío, Jalisco, some 80 km northeast of Guadalajara, the state capital of Jalisco. -- Figure 5. Each pottery-producing household in Teponahuasco has its own kiln, which may be located in the inner courtyard or outside the house. (1) -- Figure 6. Some households produce ollas (cooking pots) and cazuelas (pans), large-size vessels for tesgüino fermentation (traditional corn beer), and other items, such as drainage pipes and flower pots (not shown). 
505 8 |a Figure 7. Some clay vessels, like the olla or cooking pot, are made using a mold. Here we see a potter using a convex mold to make a pot, while her daughter watches and learns. -- Figure 8. Making a pan or cazuela requires a stone tool to make a flat clay cake (a). -- The clay cake is then placed in a mold with the desired shape (b). -- Figure 9. The cántaro, or water jug, is made in two stages: (a) the lower half is shaped using a mold
