Get ready for an exciting journey through time and culture as we dive into the fascinating world of Taxco, Mexico!
Join us for an interactive session led by the jewelry designer and storyteller, Matthew Gross, as we explore the rich history of this picturesque town nestled in the mountains of Guerrero.
Together, we'll uncover the secrets of Taxco's silver legacy, from its early days of pre-colonial craftsmanship to the Spanish colonial era then to the town's dramatic transformation in the 20th century, thanks to the visionary American artist William Spratling, who brought new life to Taxco's silver artistry, turning it into a global hub for stunning jewelry design.
You'll get to see how Taxco's artisans blend modern flair with traditional Mexican motifs, creating unique and breathtaking pieces that continue to influence the world of jewelry today.
We'll celebrate Taxco's well-deserved title as the «Silver Capital of the World» and explore its ongoing impact on the global arts and crafts scene.
Come ready to be inspired by the stories, artistry, and enduring charm of Taxco as we shine a spotlight on its economic, cultural, and artistic significance.
