The origin of his work is not a fortuitous thing, but the result of one of the hardest episodes in his life. As unfortunately happens with many Mexican artisans, Don Pedro found it hard to support himself financially with his trade.<\/p><p>At the age of 30 (around 1936) he contracted a disease that kept him prostrate and on the verge of death, Don Pedro sank into a deep sleep, during his unconsciousness, he had the sensation of having been in a quiet forest crossed by paths rocky areas where I frequently heard strange noises. When looking for the origin of those sounds, extraordinary creatures appeared in front of him that incessantly repeated the same word: alebrije. It was at this moment that luck turned around. Health returned to the artisan&#8217;s body, also bringing the idea that would make him famous in Mexico and the world.<\/p><p>The alebrijes quickly became popular, and in many corners of Mexico, artisans continued to reproduce the legacy of Pedro Linares. But it is in Oaxaca where this craft has reached its maximum splendor. They are traditionally made in San Antonio Arrazola and San Mart\u00edn Tilcajete. The various shapes of the copal branches invite artisans to let their imagination run wild and, with the help of machetes and knives, give life to these fantastic figures that combine characteristics of different animals to form creatures that are as monstrous as they are fascinating.<\/p><p>An alebrije has behind it a long job of carving and painting. Depending on the complexity of the design and finish, a piece can take months or even more than a year to complete.<\/p><h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Leather and fur crafts from the Jalatlaco neighborhood<\/strong><\/span><\/h3><p>The Jalatlaco neighborhood of Oaxaca City was already an indigenous community when the Spanish arrived. In the 1520s, the conquistador, Francisco de Orozco, settled Nahua and Mexica Indian allies in the place, who learned the trade of saddlery, the embryo of the current leather craft work in the neighborhood and the city. Located 20 blocks northeast of the Z\u00f3calo of the Oaxacan capital, Jalatlaco is one of the main centers for the production of leather and fur handicrafts in the state.<\/p><p>Pieces manufactured in smooth or embossed finishes, with a range that includes jackets, vests, bags, wallets, shoes, belts, boots, huaraches, caps, hats, stationery and horsemanship items.

Talking about black clay means talking about Mrs. Rosa Real Mateo de Nieto, an artisan from San Bartolo Coyotepec who, in the mid-20th century, discovered the method for making matt gray clay pottery pieces to gain an attractive glossy black. If these were fired at a slightly lower temperature and polished before fully drying, they would emerge a radiant dark colour.<\/p><p>This discovery defined one of the main lines of work in Mexican ceramics, with highly appreciated pieces for decorative purposes, since they are more fragile and have no practical use in the kitchen or at home. The pieces are polished with curved quartz stones and manipulated with sharp objects to create unique designs, which make them highly valuable crafts.<\/p><p>San Bartolo Coyotepec is a town in the Central Valleys where Do\u00f1a Rosa&#8217;s workshop is still in force, now run by her descendants and 60 other family businesses dedicated to black clay pottery.<\/p><h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Matte Gray Clay from San Bartolo Coyotepec<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><p>Although the main occupation of the potters of San Bartolo Coyotepec is polished black clay, they have not stopped making pieces of matte gray clay, especially the pitchers used in Oaxaca to ferment and store the famous local mezcals in the distilleries.<\/p><p>Matte gray ceramic is manufactured in a similar way to glossy black, with the exception that in the former the pieces are fired at a higher temperature and dried completely.<br \/>In both cases, the clay is the same and the ceramics are fired in wood-fired ovens or in holes underground. Due to their resistance, the vessels, jugs, plates and other items made of matte gray clay do have the daily uses for which they are intended, unlike the shiny black clay which is basically decorative.<\/p><p>San Bartolo Coyotepec is located 17 km south of the city of Oaxaca and is home to the State Museum of Popular Art of Oaxaca, which exhibits Oaxacan handicrafts with particular emphasis on ceramics that symbolize the town.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7461865 elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-8322 elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"7461865\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4872862374985876\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- GoogleAd-01 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4872862374985876\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9156834948\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4259585 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4259585\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"280\" height=\"3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visit-mexico.mx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/separator1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-297\" alt=\"Visit Mexico\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.visit-mexico.mx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/separator1.png 280w, https:\/\/www.visit-mexico.mx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/separator1-150x3.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60323b7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"60323b7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Green Clay from Santa Mar\u00eda Atzompa<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><p>The pottery of Santa Mar\u00eda Atzompa, a community near the city of Oaxaca, is very famous for its green glazed slab.

The glassy green clay reaches its characteristic coloration after a second firing of the pieces, to which a clay has been applied.<\/p><p>The technique was taught to the indigenous people of Oaxaca in the 16th century by the Spanish missionary, Alonso Figueroa. It consists of diluting a powdered clay in water that is then applied externally to the pieces before being subjected to a second firing. After going through the kiln for the first time, the items gain the whitish color that the clay gives them.<\/p><p>Artisans transport the clay tiles on donkey backs from their source in the nearby San Lorenzo Cacautepec mines.

On the Costa Chica and other areas of Oaxaca, the pozahuanco subsists as a symbol of identity, thanks to the women who weave and dress it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f6d97c elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-8322 elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"9f6d97c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4872862374985876\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- GoogleAd-01 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4872862374985876\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9156834948\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0b3a12e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0b3a12e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"280\" height=\"3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visit-mexico.mx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/separator1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-297\" alt=\"Visit Mexico\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.visit-mexico.mx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/separator1.png 280w, https:\/\/www.visit-mexico.mx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/separator1-150x3.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f08fa2c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f08fa2c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Rebozos from Oaxaca<br \/><\/span><\/strong><\/h3><p>In the city of Oaxaca and other towns in the state, it is typical to see indigenous women carrying their babies and small children in shawls, a wide and rectangular piece of clothing that provides a comfortable and practical means of transporting the children.<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_17380\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17380\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visit-mexico.mx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Oaxaca-Handicrafts-Front-12.jpg\" alt=\"Rebozos from Oaxaca\" width=\"400\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.visit-mexico.mx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Oaxaca-Handicrafts-Front-12.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.visit-mexico.mx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Oaxaca-Handicrafts-Front-12-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.visit-mexico.mx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Oaxaca-Handicrafts-Front-12-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17380\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rebozos from Oaxaca<\/figcaption><\/figure><p>The rebozos can be up to 3 meters long and 1.5 meters wide and are used as shawls and scarves.

The half gala dress is used in casual parties and consists mainly of a dress with a huipil embroidered on a chain and a lace or brocade skirt.<\/p><p>The gala attire is for big occasions and includes a petticoat, a velvet skirt and a huipil embroidered with silk threads, a sparkle (a wide, starched white frill of lace), a cotton petticoat with an embroidered strap, braided hair, gold earrings, choker (short necklace of gold coins) and doubloon (long necklace of gold coins).<\/p><h4><b>Typical costume of Huautla de Jim\u00e9nez<\/b><\/h4><p>Huautla de Jim\u00e9nez is a Magical Town nestled in the Sierra Mazateca in the Ca\u00f1ada Oaxacan Region, a cozy town with ceremonial and medicinal traditions, several of them linked to the hallucinogenic mushrooms that grow in the area.

It can also include a rebozo. The men&#8217;s suit is simpler, as it only consists of a manta breeches and a shirt made of the same material or of other fabrics of different colors, completing the outfit with a palm hat and a red scarf.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-02dc89c elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-8322 elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"02dc89c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4872862374985876\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- GoogleAd-01 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4872862374985876\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9156834948\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b228929 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b228929\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"280\" height=\"3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.visit-mexico.mx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/separator1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-297\" alt=\"Visit Mexico\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.visit-mexico.mx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/separator1.png 280w, https:\/\/www.visit-mexico.mx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/separator1-150x3.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b65b10 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9b65b10\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><b>Typical costume of Pinotepa Nacional<\/b><\/h4><p>Santiago Pinotepa Nacional is a municipality and head of Oaxaca on the coast.

Oaxaca\u2019s gastronomy incorporates elements of pre-Hispanic cuisine, and lively imagination has created combinations that amaze by the color, the aromas and the flavors.<br \/>\nThe list of dishes that characterize this cuisine is endless, however, we can mention: Oaxacan Mole in its 7 varieties depending on the type of chili used, Chapulines, (dry roasted, spiced grasshoppers), tlayudas (large tortilla spread with the remaining of the lard and beans), maguey worm sauce, chiles rellenos (stuffed chilies), and of course the famous Oaxacan tamales in banana leaves. Oaxaca cheese is a soft white string cheese, which is similar to mozzarella.
