Catrinas
"Calacas", also sometimes called Catrinas, are skeleton figures made out of clay or paper mache and often are linked with Day of the Dead celebrations. Calaca Art is a form of Latin American folk art, and the innovation coming out of Mexico in recent years is extraordinary. Mexico By Hand features a few pieces here by some of our favorite artisans in Michoacán. For more information about calacas and go to our information page on Day of the Dead.
