Feria 2018 will explore the colors of nature. Here is a sampling of the glorious color you will find this year:
Gerardo Ortega López from Tonalá offers fantastic ceramics of barre betus finishing each piece with an oil bath made from a resin extracted from pine trees.
Dreamweavers, a weaving cooperative from Pinotepa de Don Luis, situated on the Costa Chica of Oaxaca, will be showing textiles dyed with the rare purpura pansa mollusk, the red cochinilla dye, extracted from beetles that grow in nopal cactus, and indigo of the native anil or indigo plant.
Juan Vázquez Menor, winner of the National Handicrafts Award from Temalacatzingo, Guerrero, brings incredible hand-painted bules/guajes (gourds).
