Fun, Fun, Fun

After the WARP conference was over we went to Teotitlan del Valle for three days and had a great time. Jose and Bob were our hosts and Jose our guide to pueblas in the surrounding area as well as tripping around the village itself. While there we went to San Bartolo to see the Bara Negro (black) ceramic as well as the wonderful popular arts museum located there. Our friend Jacobo Mendosa has a lovely piece in that exhibition. In the village we visited the studios of Roman Guitierez, Fidel Cruz and Jacobo Mendoza. All of them are busy with amazing work.

We at lunch at the crossing in San Martin. Unbelievable dishes, some of which are Bob's favorites  with stuffed Publano peppers that tasted heavenly in a white sauce of chile and pomegranate seeds.Then we moved on to the inner part of San Martin and our favorite alebrije studio.
