In this respect, P\u00e1tzcuaro-as a commercial and cultural center of the region since distant times-, is a center par excellence of full arts production. This includes wood working\u2013 from toys, to laquerware, to furniture such as chairs, tables, doors and carved trunks, and everything in between.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likewise there is wrought iron, tin, paper mach\u00e9, and wool\u2013 woven and knitted sweaters, zarapes and rugs with characteristic designs. Of equal beauty are products made with reeds that grow around the lake, and with henequen, brought from outside P\u00e1tzcuaro and used to make small carpets, pouches, tablecloths and other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As to jewelry, the traditional Purh\u00e9pecha style consists mainly of designs that mix silver and red coral, although lately the coral is often substituted by red porcelain. The designs are generally fashioned into necklaces and earrings with representations of white fish, canoes, crosses, coins and other elements.<\/p>\n\n\n

One of the primary manufactured commodities in the city is pure cotton fabric (and large tablecloths), dyed in bright and contrasting colors. This is made also in acrilan, but the original and the better quality is the pure cotton one. Also it is possible to find cut-work embroidery, stitchery, and clothing characteristic of the region, such as hand woven shirts, shawls and other items customary to the Purh\u00e9pecha way of dressing.<\/p>\n\n\n

Due to its atmosphere and the tranquillity of its environment, P\u00e1tzcuaro also represents a natural refuge for contemporary artists, so it is possible to find in the city's squares, cafes and galleries a wide range of paintings and other objects that show the city itself as a source of inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, there exists in the city a small but select group of art restoration specialists, whose professionalism and quality is recognized internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To everything mentioned previously is added, of course, the handicrafts of all the lacustrine region, which converge in P\u00e1tzcuaro and contribute even more to the visual and cultural wealth of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n
