Oaxaca field trip...part 2


Inside the church there were many beautiful statues..




Our next stop was to a wonderful wood carver and his family. These pieces are awaiting their paint.


The wood carver's home and sales area.


We were treated to a pottery demo from a 93 year old potter who makes everything by hand and fires her work in a pit kiln. We all found some of her beautiful black pottery to take home with us.


A fun stop for a delicious lunch on the way home.


Next day a visit to the Textile Museum with lovely weavings and other amazing displays...


including looms,


wonderful textiles,


amazing costumed wooden figures,


and more embroidered huipiles.
