Synopsis
Mexico is a country that is still rich in arts and crafts. Every day millions of men and women of all ages make beautiful and useful objects out of the materials they find at hand. The articles are used for domestic needs, work, decoration, rituals, play, festivities, and dances. All of these objects, made by hand with simple techniques, reflect the inspiration and touch of man. They are fold crafts satisfying a host of social needs and representing a means of livelihood to those who practice them. Among the many, many crafts carried on in both urban and rural areas, there is a group which could be called traditional or fold crafts because of the forms, materials and methods employed in their manufacture. They are described in this book because they represent an essential part of Mexican culture and reveal the Mexican's artistic and creative sensitivity, his view of the world around him, and his history. Some of these articles much be considered true art objects because of the inspiration invested in their production and the use to which they are put.
