Artisan Spotlight @ New World Crafts: Mayu

Over the next few months, I am delighted to partner up with the New World Crafts Fair based in Guatemala, a wonderful sourcing trade show in Antigua, Guatemala, offering a unique chance to connect directly with talented artists from Guatemala and throughout South America. And ultimately, highlight the unique products and export ready artisan enterprises at this show:) 

If you have a shop, or simply looking to source from talented artists from Guatemala and beyond, be sure to head over to their site as they have a full list of exhibitors. In normal times, this is a trade show that happens once a year in one of the most beautiful settings in Antigua. Ahem I recommend for next year:) Its so inspiring and beautifully curated. But since many shows were forced to go online, or partially, in the coming months, I will be featuring some of the exhibitors that stood out to me. 

To start, let’s focus on Mayu! As a way to learn more, I conducted a short interview.
