The attraction of this town is the beautiful black pottery. It is incredible how they craft these clay pieces just by using the hands, no steering wheel, machines neither. We visit a local workshop to learn more about this craft and also visit a beautiful gallery of Ceramic.
The most famous handicraft of Oaxaca is made here, “Los Alebrijes” The original Alebrijes are from Mexico city, but in Oaxaca they took the original idea to another level Carving and painting this amazing animals with zapotec designs. Visiting a workshop in this town is magical and mysterious, you can even know what your spiritual animal is. These colorful and crazy creatures are definitely something you can not miss.
The traditions of weaving Textiles around Oaxaca started here. We visit a beautiful group of women in this community, working with the Backstrap loom manufacturing uniques pieces like place mats, purses, shoulder bags, table runners, cup holders, belts, straps and bracelets and more. We can also visit the Gallery of the master Painter Gerardo Navarro who is the only man in the family.
