Tin Day of the Dead bride and groom. The art of tin crafting has changed very little over the centuries in Mexico. Today, a handful of dedicated artisans in Oaxaca continue this tradition. Each piece of tin art is entirely handcrafted with precision and creativity. The salve of these treasures is an important source of income for the families who maintain the craft. Your purchase supports them and helps ensure that their craft will be passed onto the next generations.
