Itza and at the Cinco Calles in Valladolid, Yucatan, Mexico) are proud to represent these Maya fine art masters:

Jainas and vessels at both Toh Boutique locations.
There are two other impressive Maya reproduction Master potters in
Yucatan: Patricia
and Rodrigo Martin Morales (siblings).In the
tradition of their Mayan ancestors, both ceramists carry on the
splendid ancient polychrome technique by utilizing the same clay
mixture and natural pigments used hundreds of year ago.

create the most complex and exquisite reproduction work collection
found to date. Both artists' lovely Maya replicas, jainas, vessels

exquisite works of art that represent Mother Nature and their daily
lifestyle. Maria Eugenia, who does most of Toh Boutique’s one of a

the ancient art of how to select, make, and apply natural dyes to

The weavers of the Mayan highlands transform
natural cotton and wool into wearable
works of art. San Andrés Larráinzar is one of the regions most
important Mayan weaving centres and it is here that Rosa began to
work the back strap loom.
She learned from her elders the ancient design elements of the Maya
as well as the weaving techniques and how to prepare each of her
yarns, natural dies and designs. Her sense of aesthetic harmony and
balance has earned her the title of Mayan Master Weaver and many
national and international awards and recognitions.
Together with María Meza, she formed the San Jolobil cooperative,
grouping more than 700 weavers in the region. The cooperative
operates a school of traditional Mayan weaving so this exquisite art
can be continue by future generations.
