Moises Vargas:
Moises Vargas comes from a family with generations of artisan experience. He lives and has his workshop in Patzcuaro which is a cultural and artisan center for the State of Michoacan, Mexico. The original name was "Tzacapu-ansucutinpatzcuaro" that is translated as "door to heaven". Michoacan's countryside is a vast expanse of rolling hills, deep lakes, winding rivers and green valleys. Patzcuaro is found on hills above one of the lakes; Lake Patzcuaro. Rich soil supports lush jungle-like vegetation, with spectacular mountain landscapes, and velveteen pasturelands. Its pace is leisurely, its people friendly, and its Spanish colonial and indigenous heritage rich.
