This town produces red clay vases, casseroles, pots, plates and trays. Most of these pieces come from a nearby community called Ixtlahuaca.

You can also find wool jorongos (traditional Mexican garment used to cover from the rain and cold) made on waist looms, as well as blankets and capes.

Being in a wooded area, the artisians use the wood to produce many items such as napkin rings, key rings, toys and picture frames, as well as artistic furniture.

However, it is famous for the beauty and variety of hand-painted, blown glass spheres and its Christmas decorations.

We recommend that you visit some of the workshops so that you can learn more about how the spheres are made and of course you can buy some of these beautiful pieces.

A good place to buy all these handicrafts is the Centro Artesanal Maravillas de Chignahuapan.
