Vibrant streets of Oaxaca, Mexico - an ideal destination for arts and crafts enthusiasts.

Oaxaca Travel Guide: The Ultimate Arts and Crafts Tour Itinerary

I just got back from an unforgettable arts and crafts tour in Oaxaca, Mexico, and let me tell you—it was everything I hoped for and more. From learning backstrap weaving with a local artist named Norma to picking out a one-of-a-kind embroidered dress at Miriam’s shop, each day was packed with hands-on experiences and colorful discoveries. Oaxaca’s markets, workshops, and open-air studios were like stepping into another world, full of creativity and tradition. Whether you’re an art lover or simply curious about Oaxaca’s rich heritage, come along with me as I share the highlights, treasures, and incredible people that made this trip so special.

Chalkboard Sign for Shop Small.

Shopping Small and Independent Businesses

When you spend your money in your local economy it stays in your local economy. Shopping at Bella Vita obviously provides a living for my family and my four employees and their families, but there is a whole chain of suppliers that we source from, too.  We work with woodworkers, metal casters, metal platers, chain makers, bench jewelers, screen printers,  marketing gurus, photographers, consultants, and accountants, just to name a few.
