Friends of Oaxacan Folk Art (FOFA) seeks to preserve and promote the rich folk art traditions of Oaxaca, Mexico, which have been passed on from generation to generation, often over hundreds of years. Today, these traditions are endangered by economic challenges in the region that significantly impact the folk art community.
Fernando Peguero, winner in ceramics in the 2008 and 2011 FOFA-MEAPO concursos, has just won 1st prize in contemporary ceramics in the prestigious national ceramics contest in Tlaquepaque, Mexico. As a result of winning the FOFA concurso prizes early in his career, which included courses in artistic technique and marketing, Fernando was able to change his plan of being an accountant and follow his dream of devoting himself to his work as a ceramicist. Felicidades a Fernando!
