Hand Made pots from Cocucho Michoacan for sale Sat. and Sun.

Jill Fessenden has a new gallery - she is a photographer and has befriended many of the indigenous people of Michoacan. One group has brought their hand made pots to her gallery and they are there only through Sunday. You may have seen them in shops at much higher prices. They are hand made and hand fired by the women of COCUCHO Michoacan. They are selling them in Jill's gallery from 300 pesos for one about 15 inches high to 750 pesos for one about 4 feet. The women and family are at Jill's studio in their indigenous costumes. They also have hand embroidered blouses for sale. Jill takes no commission from them and they stay in her home.

There is also Jill's art work - photos taken in Michoacan and many other types of artistic photo art. Her Gallery is at Aldama 3B in Ajijic tel: 7663703- down hill from the Pemex station in La Floresta - past Guadalupe Victoria and on the right almost at constitution. She is there and open all day Sat. and Sun. and leaves with them to go to Michoacan on Monday. Jill has spent almost 20 years visiting the Purapecha Indians in Michoacan, sleeping on their floors, and photographing them. Below is the email she sent me. I visited today and will return tomorrow to get one of the big pots:)
