Santa María Atzompa is a Zapotec town that has been producing pottery for at least 2,000 years. In the first half of the century  XX  Atzompa was the main producer of pottery in the region and its products were shipped to all parts of Mexico and exported to the United States. Today, a large part of the population's families continue to make a living from the production of green clay, in addition to growing corn.
