Comunidad Winay
 
Comunidad Wiñay is a ceramic workshop cooperative and collective of producer associations in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Founded in 1998 Comunidad Wiñay not only provides employment for women in the community but has established a holistic support system including a daycare center on the workshop’s premises, meals for the children and their mothers, healthcare and ongoing education.
 
Cochabamba is Bolivia’s third largest city where many people from the rural poor western highlands move to seek a better life. However, without education, training or a support network they find themselves living in impoverished conditions on the outskirts of the city.
 
It is from this community that Comunidad Wiñay locates and trains women in the art of ceramics. As employees of Comunidad Wiñay the women are also voting producer associate members giving them voice as to how the cooperative can maintain and improve its operation. Nearly thirty full time women and up to one hundred women seasonally belong to the cooperative which provides job security, fair wages and a safe working environment.
 
Members of Comunidad Wiñay express their distinctive styles and personalities primarily through the art of ceramics. Best known for their clay farm animals they also produce miniature nativity scenes and candle lamps using natural elements. It’s easy to see they love their work! Sheer joy radiates from each original sculpted design.
