We love folk art! These are the physical reminders of a shared history from one's own family or collected via travel. The embroidered handkerchief. The wooden box. It's what's made, what's purchased, what's exchanged and what's been received as a gift. How many of us have an antique from one's own family.

Spotlight on Oaxaca
We talk a lot about the folkart in Oaxaca, Mexico where Ron Mader lived for more than ten years. This was a transformational decade in terms of technology and communication. Artisans whose towns had only one phone line now had direct access via cellphones. How many of us have a set of alebrijes from Oaxaca, Mexico? Woven rugs from the Central Valleys?

Guest: Nicodemus Bartolo Vásquez This week we are hanging out with Don Nicodemus, proprietor of La Jacieria El Arte Oaxaqueño. Please join us Sunday, 730pm Oaxaca and 530pm Vegas-California. Questions and greetings are welcome in English and Spanish. The hangout will be conducted mostly in Spanish with Ron translating a bit here and there. Oaxaca Wiki editors are encouraged to spiff up the pages you are working on. Bonus points for improving our coverage of folk art and mercados.
 * August 16, 730pm Oaxaca, 530pm Las Vegas ** [|Celebrando la Historia de la Jarcieria El Arte Oaxaqueño]

Pet Peeves Now a pet peeve: the word 'artisanal' used on factory-made items. If you're going to call something artisinal, you should know the name of the artisan.

Me encanta la liga, pero un hay un directorio de los artesanos o donde se vende sus productos? Trabajo en turismo y escribo articulos acerca parques nacionales y la cultura local. Podemos conectar los artesanos con visitantes extranjeros y nacionales.
