Taxco Women's Jewelry Cooperative

Mexico

The Taxco Women's Jewelry Cooperative is a part of Artesanas Campesinas (Artcamp) founded in 1991 to withstand the forces of globalization threatening traditional Mexican artisan markets. From the rural craft-producing village of Taxco the women empower themselves through this successful co-op as their husbands migrate to the U.S. for work. They can now educate their children, while keeping alive their traditional designs and skills…connecting their past to an even brighter future!
