Art

While I'm very much in favor of supporting local vendors, there isn't much in the way of arts and crafts produced locally. If you have the time and the inclination, you might consider traveling to some of the areas where much is produced. Some years ago I took a pottery tour in Michoacán state with TraditionsMexico. Different and wonderful stuff made in each village. They also offer trips to other parts of the country. There's a store in Morelia (sorry, forgot the name) which carries a variety of things made in that state. We had a clay Frida Kahlo made by Josefina Aguilar, just outside of Oaxaca city. She's about 4 feet tall and can be seen in the gallery of our website. We staid at Casa Colonial who's owner, Jane Robison, knows Josefina and can take you there.
