Home decoration and garden stores San Antonio Palopó

Napkins, centerpieces, tablecloths, aprons, curtains, bedspreads, pillowcases, carpets, backpacks, handbags, purses... The cooperative specializes in handmade textiles - household linens first and foremost - all made on the loom. A remarkable work, realized by some 150 families of the village, which is worth the detour, even if you have not necessarily come to make purchases. Once again, the welcome could not be nicer.

Finely carved vases, delicate teapots, butter dishes, salt shakers, cups, ashtrays, original plates, decorative objects of all kinds, various animal statuettes - ducks, owls, cats or fish... This workshop-boutique opened in 1996 and offers an almost unlimited choice of handmade ceramic articles, accessible to all budgets. The store is located away from the heart of the village, facing the lago de Atitlán, while the factory is located at the back, in a small garden. Special mention to the very warm welcome.

This beautiful and spacious store features a mural of a woman painting ceramic vases. Once inside, there are beautiful pieces, from plates to dishes to spoon rests. The workshop is located upstairs, in a large room where you can admire the items that have not yet been decorated, some white, others of a copper color. The explanations on the manufacturing process are interesting and detail several steps, including the molding, the resting time and the painting.
