Edwin Huasacca, ceramic artist

Born in Quinua, Ayacucho, Peru, where ceramics are woven into everyday life, Edwin Huasacca Condori learned the art of clay from his father. In the 1980s, seeking better opportunities, he and his five brothers relocated to Lima, where they established their ceramic workshops side by side to continue their family tradition.

Edwin is known for shaping expressive characters directly in clay, often without sketches, relying on memory and innate instinct. His pieces carry the spirit of Ayacucho through bright colors, playful details, and patterns inspired by regional ceramic and retablo traditions. Together with his wife, Marisol, who leads the decorative painting, Edwin creates joyful, handmade collections that celebrate imagination and Peruvian artistry.

Why Fair Trade Matters

For our team at Lucuma Designs, Fair Trade is more than a business model. It's a way of life that guides our daily decisions and inspires us to keep learning and evolving.

It lives in the relationships we've built over many years with the artist partners we know personally. Together, we've grown through trust and a shared commitment to building sustainable livelihoods and a better future for their families and communities.

Fair Trade is about much more than creating jobs. Through creative collaboration and by encouraging our artist partners to continually refine their craft and excel at what they do, we've built handmade collections our clients have come to trust year after year.

Ultimately, Fair Trade reminds us that business can be a force for good when it's guided by shared values and meaningful connections.

Lucuma Designs has been a proud member of the Fair Trade Federation since 1999.
