Hojalata – Mexican tin art – is one of the most colorful crafts of Mexico. Hojalata creates both practical and ornate objects. Mexican artisans and craftsmen draw on their imagination to mold inexpensive, readily available tin into elegant, delicate works of art. This long-lasting artwork first became popular during the colonial period of Mexico.
