A course by M.A Estudio
Plastic artist and cultural manager Melissa Avila and artisan and weaving specialist Lucrecia García are just two of the artists behind M.A Estudio. The project was born out of a shared love of ancient, artisan traditions and techniques in the hope of preserving them throughout the generations while also creating job opportunities. They use a combination of contemporary art and design methods and stunning ancestral practices passed down through Mexican families, with a strong emphasis on fair trade, social responsibility, and environmental protection.
They currently operate in several communities across Oaxaca, Chiapas, and Mexico City where they work closely with Mexican artisans with a range of traditional specialties.
