Regional Handicrafts in Focus
The seventh edition of the fair showcases works from various areas of regional handicrafts. The event is organized by CITE Cerámica Chulucanas as part of the program for the Peruvian national holidays.
Many products come directly from workshops in Piura and Chulucanas. This gives visitors direct insight into the materials, techniques, and design traditions of the region.
What Awaits Visitors?
- Ceramics from Chulucanas
- Textiles and handmade accessories
- Leather goods
- Jewelry and decorative items
- Wood crafts and products made from natural materials
- Regional gift items
A large portion of the offerings is sold directly by the artisans. Therefore, visitors can often ask questions about the production and origin of individual pieces.
Why is a Visit Worthwhile?
Foreign visitors will find regional products here that are often not available in regular souvenir shops. At the same time, the fair offers direct contact with manufacturers from Piura and the surrounding area.
