web site of Acta de Honduras

Located
in the heart of Central America, Honduras has a very rich
artisan tradition. Most of the Indigenous and rural artisans
are women, keepers of the pre-Columbian and colonial techniques,
shapes and secrets. In the hands of Lenca, Miskito, Tawahka,
Garifuna, Pech, Tolupan, Maya, Chortí and Mestizo women,
these traditions are experimenting a renaissance and renovating
themselves thanks the support and design work of ACTA DE HONDURAS.
Honduras' artisans produce pottery, basketry, embroidery,
textiles, jewelry, musical instruments, tuno paper, carved
stone & wood, glass and iron accessories. Today, artisans
are organized into cooperatives, micro enterprises and productive
groups.
Lencan Pottery is one of the most known and impressive Artisanry
of Honduras. The Lenca women produce black pottery, 'spotted'
pots recalling the spots of the moon, and artistic objects
hand decorated using pre-Columbian techniques. Each time you
buy a product, you support.
