Product Description:
This beautifully handcrafted San Miguel Church Ornament Nativity features a color-changing light that adds a magical glow to the nativity scene with Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus. Handcrafted by NM artist JBower, this ornament is lightweight, making it easy to hang on a tree or display in your holiday décor. Each piece is made using traditional clay mold techniques and assembled with careful attention to detail, ensuring that every ornament is unique.
• Dimensions: 3 1/4" W x 4 1/4" H x 2 1/4" D
• Material: Terra Cotta or White Slip Clay
• Handcrafted by: NM Artist JBower
• Lighting: Color-changing, Battery Operated, Twist-On LED Light
About the Creation Process:
Each Spirit of the Desert gift is handcrafted from Terra Cotta or white slip clay. Liquid clay is poured into a hollow plaster mold, which pulls moisture from the clay. After a few minutes, excess clay is removed, leaving a hollow shell. Once hardened, windows and doors are cut out, and a high-temperature wire is attached for hanging. The soft clay is then baked to remove moisture, turning it into fragile greenware. After firing in a kiln at 1600°F, the piece becomes durable. Final assembly involves hand-painting and attaching crafted parts such as the nativity figures, greenery, and other decorative elements.
Fun Fact(s):
• The San Miguel Church in Santa Fe is the oldest church in the U.S., and this ornament pays homage to its historic significance.
• Each ornament is signed by NM artist JBower, ensuring that it’s a one-of-a-kind piece.
Practical Uses:
• Holiday Décor: Perfect for hanging on your Christmas tree or adding to your holiday display.
• Cultural Keepsake: A beautiful piece representing the cultural heritage of New Mexico.
Physical Properties:
• Material: Terra Cotta or White Slip Clay
• Color: Natural clay finish, with hand-painted details
• Lighting: Color-changing light
• Detail: Handcrafted nativity scene
• Weight: Lightweight for easy hanging
Care Instructions:
Handle with care, as the ornament is fragile. Clean with a soft cloth, and avoid exposure to excessive moisture or direct sunlight. Store in a dry environment when not in use.
