Cuban culture, particularly music, dance, literature, and painting, is a passionate interest of the international world. However, little is known about the unique and flourishing development of Cuban ceramics. Ceramic artists in the "First World" have access to an abundance of equipment, technology, and ready-made supplies. But Cuban ceramists, on the other hand, create world-class art with severely limited access to raw materials and equipment, often inventing new techniques that could influence the wider ceramic world. I have traveled to Cuba nine times and, since 2002,1 have co-directed an ongoing international cultural exchange project, the Proyecto Arte del Fuego (PAF) with Cuban master ceramist Antonio Lewis. To further our primary mission to promote peace and friendship through the universal language of art, we have offered workshops, exhibitions, lectures, and residencies in the ceramic arts in Cuba, Canada, and the United States.
