From the Coast to the Forest, Michoacan’s distinctive crafts range in styles like Barro Alisado from Cachan, to Catrinas from Capula, creating methods such as the negative-imprint from Zinapécuaro, and extending unique techniques from town to artisan. Michoacán has one of the most ancient quarries, making it a landscape charged with Mexico’s iconic mineral, Obsidian, a powerful healing stone occurring naturally from cooled volcanic lava. Tied to its deep indigenous roots, Michoacán's Purépecha knowledge is embedded in the region's traditions, language and crafts. With a rich, and abundant Charanda, the Purépecha word for red soil, the state's speciality in artistic ceramics are filled with natural beauty, and history, evoking the profound spirit of Michoacán.
