Oaxaca

Art & Craft shopping in Oaxaca

  1. A

    La Mano Mágica

    You’ll find some wonderfully original and sophisticated craft products at this shop and gallery, including work by one of its owners, the masterly Teotitlán del Valle weaver Arnulfo Mendoza. Some Mendoza pieces go for tens of thousands of dollars, and when you see them you’ll understand why.

    Mercado de Artesanías

    This indoor crafts market is strong on alebrijes, stamped tinware, embroidered textiles and tablecloths. As you walk through, you’re likely to see some of the vendors passing the time by plying their crafts, such as weaving or embroidering.
