Assistant: Roberto Domingo Mejia Muñoz

Martha Patricia García Aguilar, alongside her husband Roberto Domingo Mejía Muñoz, has preserved the traditional technique of popotillo art. This ancestral craft involves using dyed broom straw adhered with natural bee wax and tree resin to create intricate, vibrant landscapes and symbolic designs. Passed down through generations in her family, their work includes earrings, pendants, mirrors, magnets, and framed art pieces, each one meticulously handmade.
