San Francisco – November 5, 2010 On November 6^th and 7^th at the San Francisco Green Festival, Mexico By Hand will be exhibiting fine quality handmade  Fair Trade crafts and folk art from Michoacán, Mexico.

Mexico By Hand is a small Bay Area business that is dedicated to promoting traditional crafts and folk art created by talented award-winning  indigenous artists in their family run workshops.  For hundreds  of years, thousands of artisans in this region have attempted to sustain their families and communities by making and selling their art. All of these artists use the natural resources found in or near their villages:  baskets woven from tule reeds and pine needles, lead-free hand painted pottery, and beautiful hammered copper vases and bowls made from 100% recycled copper.

Mexico By Hand, based  in the San Francisco Bay Area and doing business since 2004, has been selected to exhibit at the Santa Fe International Folk Art Market for four years now, and has received  tremendous response from galleries, gift shops, and museum  stores across the United States, including SFMOMA and The deYoung  Museum. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to buy museum  quality indigenous art here in the Bay Area.

For more information about the artisans and the crafts, please see Mexico By Hand’s blog at www.mexicobyheart.blogspot.com.
