Notice About Mexican Folk Art:

Almost all of the folk art pieces that we carry are individually hand made by single artisans.  Most of them work with materials native to their area, in some cases with hand made tools and most importantly, their own hands.  

It is normal for you to expect variations in each and every piece as they are each molded, formed, cut, stamped, pounded, painted individually, one at a time.  Watch the videos on our site to see the process of pieces being made from beginning to end  and familiarize yourself with the processes and the time it takes, the many steps involved - sometimes days or a process over weeks.

We are a fair trade company.  We do not bargain, barter or try to talk the artists down in price.  We have developed relationships with hundreds of artisans from all over Mexico and work directly with them, placing orders, watching their work change over time.  

Each piece you purchase helps keep their family working in the folk art tradition, and enabling each generation to maintain their cultural artisan heritage.
