Stone carving, from miniature to monumental pieces, was one of the greatest artistic expressions of the ancient Mayans. Today, artisans keep this technique alive using stones such as Mayan cream, representative of the Yucatan peninsula, with which they create unique pieces with unmatched finishes.
The weaving of jipijapa, a plant native to tropical areas of the American continent, began to appear in Campeche around the year 1800. Artisans collect the jipi to prepare its fibers until obtaining different thicknesses. This fiber is woven in a humid environment and the process depends on the fineness of the fabric and can take from a week to a month.
