Traditional Crafts of Michoacán

The main traditional crafts of Michoacán are made by the descendants of the Purépecha culture. These include wood carving in towns like Pátzcuaro, Cuanajo, and Quiroga; hammered copper in Santa Clara del Cobre; basketry in Tzintzuntzan; pottery in Capúla, Patámban, and Ocumicho; and lutherie in Paracho. These crafts reflect the rich cultural heritage and artistic skills of the local communities.
