I have been visiting Arcangel in his crowded shop for at least 10 years. It never fails to amaze me! Sometimes, he is not open because he has a house call to make, but he always returns. I was recently there and took some pictures so that everyone can see what a treasure this shop is! Arcangel is knowledgeable about what he sells- the families and the styles of ceramicists in the area. He loves paintings and religious art- and i have purchased five paintings from him in recent years. This is not a shop for kids as it is quite small. I often visit several days before i buy, because I miss some wonderful thing I cannot live without. Whether jewelry, fine art, retablos, or ceramics he has an excellent and ever changing selection. Finally he has decided to put his shop up on the web for everyone to visit.

I came here because it was located next to the Hotel Armonia where I spent the nite ;; My 3rd time here..Really enjoy the short tour of their products that are made herellit never gets old. The staff here was very hospitable to me..I am Mexican..raised in Ciudad Juarez, Chih.. Upon entering, the young man offered me a small cup of water..I was so glad to take off the mask. and could NOT refuse the .because I was so hot after walking around downtown Tlaquepaque! The tour started with a young lady telling me how their chocolate products are made using an antique wood stove that has been remodeled into gas to use today..and an old grinder..Their products include powdered chocolate and candies..the 2nd room consisted of an explanation of how pinole is made..I am familiar with this Mexican peanut powder that can be mixed to make a drink..because the Tarahuamara Indians from Chihuahua..make this powder to sell & it is readily available in the markets in Ciudad Juarez!..The 3rd room consisted of how rompope or Mexican eggnog is made..the young lady was very knowledgeable..& this recipe is unique to the area..I was offered a sample and I told her..I thought rompope was made with milk..the last room consisted of how cajeta was made..the young man told me that this is the only product that is not produced here..so I watched a short video..I am also familiar with cajeta..as I have seen it my whole life in my hometown!..After the very informative tour, I knew i had to buy something!..I did not really pay attention to the tequilas around as that is NOT the reason I came back..i wanted to buy something unique that I do not see in Chihuahua;;I found small bottles of flavored rompope..& some other Mexican candy..By the cash register, in the glass case,,there are some products made of barro..I wish i had seen the small nacimientos..i would have bought one here instead of the Casa de Artesanos..but I will return..i am really impressed by the products and the staff here..I
