ABOUT TONALA:

For centuries, the towns of Tonala and Tlaquepaque, in the state of Jalisco, have been home to exceptionally talented artisans whose beautiful works inspire the admiration of art lovers around the word. Tonala, which means "place from which the sun rises", is a quaint and peaceful village situated, like Tlaquepaque, on the outskirts of Guadalajara.

When Christian missionaries arrived in Tonala, around 1530, they named it the "factory of paganism", as it was here that the idols worshipped in surrounding villages were made. Today, we could call Tonala the factory of handmade works of art. There are countless different types of art sold there, many of which we offer. Those include clay, ceramics, glass, metal, leather, wood figurines, baskets, textiles and furniture, as well as painted murals.
