This weekend we are privileged to celebrate two of Mexico's most cherished crafts:
Jesus Sosa returns to Talavera from San Martin Tilcajete with his charming pieces carved from the wood of the copal tree. Children and adults alike delight to see Jesus create his whimsical figures before their eyes.
Marcelo Cipriano brings a magnificent selection of beautiful and durable Zapotec rugs woven on the traditional looms of Teotitlan del Valle from the prized wool of the churro sheep, in all-natural colors derived from plant, animal, and mineral sources of the region. He will describe their dying and weaving techniques.
Come visit and have a look.
