Mexico's love of celebration is well known, and cartoneria, a kind
of papier-mache art, produces the objects that are essential to
Mexican holidays and festivals, including Day of the Dead, Holy
Week, and Christmas. Just about everyone knows what a pinata is,
but few understand that it is part of an entire branch of
traditional handcrafts. With more than 120 photos and bilingual
English/Spanish text, here is the history of the craft, how it is
woven through Mexican culture, and how the craft is growing and
changing. Learn about the traditional objects made with the
technique and their importance to Mexican culture. Look inside the
studios of several artisans and consider not only the craft's
strongholds in Mexico City and Celaya, Guanajuato, but also other
areas in Mexico where it is expanding in creativity. A variety of
artisans (more than 50 artists, museum directors, and other
experts) help identify who the main drivers of this folk art are
today, its relevance to modern Mexican culture, and where it is
headed.
