Mexican Tin Art

   Brought over with the colonists as a basic material for utensils and wares, tin soon became a medium for art in Mexico. Because of its wealth of minerals and prominent mining industry, the state of Guanajuato is where the country’s tinsmith tradition began. Artisans cut, beat, stamp, shape, punch, etch, or press the tin by hand into an endless array of practical and decorative pieces. One can see the artist’s inventiveness and skill in the boxes, frames, stars, figures, and religious objects made from this simple material.
