All our Artisans must be 18 years or older, we have single moms, seniors  and people with disabilities, all of them working with healthy conditions. 

Talented artisans throughout Mexico, often face similar barriers to growth: the lack of knowledge of efficient production methodology, quality standards and design trends, and access to quality materials.
