Translated from Raul Alejandro Jurado Dominguez's website: "Raul Alejandro Jurado Dominguez was born on July 19, 1990 in Ejido Juan Mata Ortiz, Raúl is a born artisan since he is the third generation of his family that is dedicated to making Mata Ortiz pots, since he was a child he helped his grandmother to polish her pieces and it was not until she was 15 years old when she began to make her own pieces with the help of her mother Olivia Dominguez Renteria.
It was in 2009 when he began participating in ceramic competitions and in this same year he won his first state prize. In June 2016 he participated and won the national ceramics contest in Tlaquepaque Jalisco and later in September 2016 he was the winner and one of the 10 artisans selected from the republic for "Let's go to France" where he stayed twelve days in conferences and exhibiting in museums in Paris, France."
