ARTISANS
We are proud to partner with a number of master artisans who work in small-batch, family-owned talleres (studios) throughout Mexico. From loom weavers in the mountain ranges of Central Mexico to potters in the southern state of Oaxaca, the collection showcases the country’s rich cultural and artisanal heritage. Utilizing ancestral techniques that have been passed on from generation to generation, each piece embodies thousands of years of tradition and craftmenship, along with the perseverance of the communities that have kept them alive.
THE PROCESS
Artisans employ sustainable production practices using all natural, renewable materials and do not use any synthetic chemicals or dyes. All work is done in a fair trade environment where artisans work independently, oftentimes from their homes. Each piece in the P A L O S A N T O collection is made by hand from start to finish and takes from 20 days to 15 weeks to complete.
Your purchase helps foster stable economic growth opportunities for these communities while helping to preserve these ancient art forms for generations to come.
