Question Mexican Glass

Hey guys! Been searching the forum for anything related to Mexican glass and haven't quite found anything. I know there is glassblowing there because my parents have beautiful cups and jars that they've brought... anyway I'll google it too but I was wondering what you know about glassblowing or lampworking in Mexico?
I am visiting next week (from the 29th to the 4th) and I've love to go touristing around anything glass related?
I'll be in DF and Cuernavaca.

Gabi, the only one I know of currently is this one I keep running across on ebay:
Radiantmind Beads | Handmade in paradise Glass lampwork beads made with fine .999 silver and upscale glass by artists Daniel and Jenelle in sunny Baja California Sur, Mexico. Their store on ebay is Paradise Beads.

Have you tried googling the idea in Spanish?


Maybe the search programs will uncover more stuff in a language of the country in question.


Just a thought.


Good to hear from you girl !

I got some glasses that were clear and cobalt, and I googled and found them, made from recycled glass in Mexico.

There may be lampworkers at the resort areas but out in their world are mostly recycled glass works.

Not that there aren't glass artists in Mexico!
