San Miguel Crafts

A visual research about which crafts can we find on a kilometer radius from our studio.  One of the skills any good designer must have is the knowledge to make anything- a skill that comes with an exhilarating sense of being able to make whatever you want, just because you can.

But what if this skill were used in a context where are makers everywhere?

Having our studio in México City, in a context where many people become makers for financial reasons, could be both a blessing and a curse.
