It doesn’t matter if it’s not the season. If you’re in Chignahuapan, you’re going to want to take home one of the crafts that put this town on the map: the ornamental spheres. They’re made of hand-painted blown glass. It was Rafael Méndez, who came from Pátzcuaro, who taught the town’s people how to make them. Little did the newcomer know that, three decades later, his first sphere-making workshop would be one of hundreds.
