Glass is at the heart of Mexican folk craft, and along with clay (barro), iron, and rustic furniture, it completes the nexus of major crafts found in districts like Tonala and Tlequepacque.

The majority of glass is recycled, giving it textures and dimensions that can be magical. It also tends to be heavy, and thicker than “new” glass because it is frequently blown and turned by hand, rather than molded, although molded glass is also available in Guadalajara.

This section of our site will be dedicated to the search for and creation of really unique, and useful recycled folk craft glass. The pieces will be for use in the garden, or will bring the garden indoors during the winter months.

We hope you find special pieces here that will tickle your fancy.
