Armando  Minjarez

Armando Minjarez is a Mexican interdisciplinary artist, designer and community organizer. His practice is guided by themes of displacement, collaboration and empowerment to open space for the development of social change strategy, creative expression and liberation for racialized communities.

Currently, Armando is focusing most of his time in expanding his Del Norte ceramics line and working on public art commissions is his Wichita studio.

Del Norte’s ceramic products are handcrafted with care for everyday use. Using slip-casting and hand-building techniques, their ceramic line features soft colored unglazed exteriors, exposing to the touch a silky and sumptuous surface.

They achieve these soft clay colors by mixing mason stains directly into the clay for a unique finish. As with anything handmade, variations in size, shape, color and glaze consistency will occur and are expected. Each piece is truly one of a kind!
