Jesús Guerrero Santos is a Master Artisan who was born in San Martin Hidalgo, Jalisco in 1939. As a young man, Santos studied architecture, philosophy and humanities, but was able to devote himself to studying the history of glazed ceramics.

A lot of his pieces have been commissioned by the Vatican, including pieces made for Pope John Paul II during his visit to Mexico for the canonization of St. Juan Diego.
