About Paracho Woodworking
Paracho, Michoacán, is renowned throughout Mexico for its centuries-old tradition of fine woodworking and instrument making. Generations of artisans have developed an extraordinary understanding of wood selection, carving, balance, and finish through the production of guitars and other stringed instruments that are sought after by musicians across the country and beyond. Alongside these celebrated instruments, Paracho's workshops produce functional objects for the home, applying the same craftsmanship to everyday forms. Crafted from carefully selected local hardwoods, these utilitarian pieces reflect a culture where beauty, material knowledge, and practical use remain inseparable.

Domingo de Ramos — Market Find
The Domingo de Ramos tianguis in Uruapan, Michoacán is one of Mexico's most celebrated popular art markets. These pieces were not entered in competition — they were found by Raul Cabra, curator and founder of La Embajada, through direct conversation with the makers. Chosen not just for the object, but for the person behind it.

About Handmade Pieces
Crafted by hand using techniques passed down through generations of master artisans. Variations in color, texture, and finish are inherent to the process — each piece is, by nature, one of a kind.
