This proposal is based on comprehensive study of Guarani archaeological ceramics pieces, in relation to their morphology, technology, style and uses. This has allowed us to make scale reproductions of the different types of pieces. In the Guarani language, these pieces are called: japepó, cambuchí, ñaetá, ñaembé, cambuchí caguavá and Ñamópiu. The workshop emerged as a need to recreate knowledge-practices in relation to the Mbyá Guarani ceramic art and culture, located in the province of Misiones. In order to do so, it was necessary to pursue the reproduction of sherds from surveys conducted in museums and the imitation of archaeological ceramic fragments found in the region, especially on the banks of rivers and streams. These fragments were empirically identified from a number of characteristic features that determine their Guarani origin. Besides were made photographic records of existing parts in different collections were made to have examples to see details, determine ruptures and continuities in the treatment of the outer phase of ceramics, red-paint on white, white on red paint, textures like acordelado, serrungulado, escobado, unguiculate, and corrugado-, and establish modes of modeling and burning them in open furnaces
