ARTS AND CRAFTS Puebla’s multicultural heritage is reflected in its wide variety of world-famous crafts, many of which are still made using ancient techniques. The Talavera ceramics, of Arabic origin, are glazed white pottery with intricate tile designs. The engravings and bark paper paintings come from pre-Hispanic influences. The unique onyx and marble objects are world-renowned. In La Luz neighborhood, you’ll find beautiful glazed brown pottery, while the colorful clay tree of life figurines come from Izucar de Matamoros and Acatlan de Osorio. You can also appreciate the extensive cultural offering in the textiles made here, including wool and cotton serapes, ponchos and shawls. They are produced using both traditional and automated looms. If you want to see paintings and sculptures, visit the artist workshops in El Barrio del Artista.
