Why Shop Oaxaca Culture?
We personally curate and select each item
We know each artisan maker and can attest to the quality of their work
We ethically source each piece and verify that the process is sustainable
We pay artisans directly for their work at the price they ask
We do not bargain!
We know that makers depend on cash income to support their families
We especially support women who use this income to pay for schooling for children and grandchildren, and for health care for elderly family members
Your support gives us the means to continue to support women, men, and their families. By doing so, we help sustain traditional, ancestral artisan arts and handcrafts that are at risk of being lost as indigenous cultures become more Westernized.

What is a Study Tour: Our programs are learning experiences, and as such we talk with makers about how and why they create, what is meaningful to them, the ancient history of patterning and design, use of color, tradition and innovation, values and cultural continuity, and the social context within which they work. First and foremost, we are educators. Norma worked in top US universities for over 35 years and Eric founded the education department at Oaxaca’s textile museum. We create connection.
