Artisans

We work with artisans families who generally have no outlet for their products in addition to the weekly market in Taxco silver. Before accepting new products in the catalog, we will visit the producers and their families first. Here we learn the living conditions and the working environment of the manufacturers. Some families do not have a workshop and work from home in the living room. Frequently all family members are involved in the silver business, either in the production or sale. Some families have given their workshop a name, then collaborate many family members under the Taller (pronounced Tajer) which is the Spanish word for workshop. Other artists work easily under their own name.

Through extreme silver price fluctuations and increasing problems such as the decline in tourism in the drug war, the silver business is difficult. Manufacturers have no security for planning and must come up with a high capital commitment to law because they buy the material at market prices every week new.
