Travels with Handcraft Nerds

Lost Spanish silk in the Sierra Madre. Smoke fired pottery. Cochineal, the red worn around the world. Frida Kahlo’s fashion inspirations. The last traditional shellfish dyers on earth. Sixteen native languages, 80 pottery villages, 100 indigenous dressways and 10,000 weavers.  Oh, and the tortilla was invented here as well 2,800 years ago.
