Here is a site that explains their technique quite nicely:

The ancient techniques employed to make ceramics are still used today - mostly in the rural parts of Mexico. It's curious how these groups were able to preserve their artistic techniques - coil building, open firing, natural pigments - and yet they lost their original language and their religion.

When the Spaniards arrived, the blending of societies allowed the indigenous people to learn new techniques, and the combination of styles gave life to some of the more famous ceramic styles of Mexican earthenware, such as the "majolica" or Talavera.
