About the Technique Wire-wrapping is the artisanal technique of taking malleable wire and wrapping it around itself or beads to form unique shapes and patterns. It is a jewelry artform used to connect several pieces together without having to solder or heat the metal wire. For the Talavera collection, Lucina wire-wrapped Talavera ceramic beads into unique designs to create the perfect marriage between traditional and contemporary design. Talavera ceramic is typical of the state of Puebla, Mexico. It is recognized for its white background with designs in blue but it comes in all colors. Original Talavera pottery from Puebla is only made in the state, specifically in the towns of Atlixco or Cholula, due to the high quality of the clays found in these regions and the four-centuries-old traditional manufacturing. The Talavera used in her designs was sourced from Talavera Salazar in Puebla, México.
