Abstract
La investigación describe las condiciones socioeconómicas y culturales en que actualmente la población alfarera de Cotoca produce y comercializa piezas artesanales elaboradas con arcilla mostrando que los cambios e innovaciones en el diseño y la producción, ha generando una nueva era productiva que crece sin orientación política/cultural al influjo de la libre iniciativa y las influencias foráneas. Simultáneamente, se destaca el trabajo que desde hace 40 años promueve el Centro de Investigación, Diseño Artesanal y Comercialización (CIDAC), a través de la Asociación de artesanas ceramistas afiliadas a Artecampo, como una experiencia muy positiva al capacitar a las artesanas y crear nuevos diseños manteniendo identidad local y ofreciendo una cerámica de alta calidad.
