Artisan Craftwork · $18 to $450 per piece Taos Artisan Crafts, Weavings & Pit-Fired Clay
Northern New Mexico craftwork cannot be priced by square footage alone. A two-harness runner woven from hand-spun Churro fleece takes weeks of dye work before the shuttle throws its first pick, while an unglazed micaceous bean pot must survive open-air cedar pit firing without crazing along its shoulder. Each piece carries its maker’s studio mark.
Rio Grande Hand-Woven Wool Runner
Woven from 100% Churro wool on traditional wooden two-harness treadle looms by Chimayo-area weavers. Natural chamisa, walnut hull, and cochineal dyes resist fading under high-desert window light, making these runners suited for dining tables, adobe bench tops, and heirloom wall display.
| Material | 100% hand-spun Churro sheep wool, vegetal & mineral dyes |
|---|---|
| Dimensions | 15" x 48" (table) or 20" x 60" (hall / hearth) |
| Quote Basis | Depends on loom width, dye complexity, and named weaver |
Pueblo Micaceous Clay Bean Pot
Hand-dug Taos micaceous clay coiled without a potter’s wheel, scraped thin with gourd ribs, and pit-fired outdoors over cedar and aspen embers. Suited both for slow stovetop bean simmering—where mica flecks conduct gentle heat—and for architectural hearth display.
| Material | Wild-dug New Mexico micaceous clay, unglazed mineral body |
|---|---|
| Capacity | 2-quart cooking vessel (custom heights up to 11") |
| Quote Basis | Depends on coil height, lid fit, fire-cloud flash, and potter |
Punched Tin Sconce & Mirror Frame
Cut from heavy-gauge sheet tinplate, pierced and embossed by hand with steel chasing punches, and finished with oxidized solder joints. Built for entryways, covered portals, and candle sconces where stamped import foil would buckle or rust through within one season.
| Material | Heavy-gauge tinplate, traditional oxidized solder seams |
|---|---|
| Dimensions | 8" x 14" standard sconce / mirror backplate |
| Quote Basis | Depends on chiseled rosette density, mirror glass, and size |
Regional Food & Gift Sets · $13.99–$52.95 per set Hatch Green Chile Gift Sets & Mountain Pantry Crates
New Mexico food gift baskets lose their integrity when filled with generic spice shakers or corn syrup candy. Our pantry sets stick strictly to autumn-harvested Hatch Valley chiles, stone-ground blue corn meal, raw wild-harvested northern pinon nuts, and high-elevation wildflower honey—packed in pine slats and fluted kraft cartons lined with cedar shavings.
Hatch Valley Flame-Roasted Chile Gift Crate
A three-jar pantry trio pairing Medium Green, Hot Green, and Autumn Roasted Red Hatch chiles with roasted mountain pinon nuts inside a nailed wooden pine slat crate. Built for home cooks who want genuine drum-roasted peel flavor rather than reconstituted powder.
| Contents | Three 16 oz glass jars + roasted pinon packet in pine crate |
|---|---|
| Packing Grade | Double-wall fluted kraft sleeve with pine excelsior bracing |
| Quote Basis | Depends on jar count (2 or 3), heat blend, and gift wrap tier |
Northern New Mexico Pinon & Blue Corn Pack
Combines 1 lb of stone-ground organic roasted blue corn meal (atole and pancake grind) with 8 oz of raw wild-harvested pinon nuts and a 6 oz glass jar of Taos wildflower honey. Ideal for corporate client gifts and family holiday parcels within the $20–$50 average order range.
| Net Weights | 1 lb blue corn meal · 8 oz pinon nuts · 6 oz honey jar |
|---|---|
| Origin Note | Wild-harvested mountain nuts; stone-milled regional heirloom corn |
| Quote Basis | Depends on pinon crop tier, box size, and multi-unit discount |
Souvenirs & Gifts · $9.00–$720.00 per piece Handmade New Mexico Souvenirs, Cottonwood Carvings & Silver
Small keepsakes start at $9.00 for pocket-sized cedar tokens and stamped pinon incense bundles, scaling up to $240.00 for seasoned cottonwood root folk carvings and $720.00 for heavy-gauge sterling silver jewelry set with natural New Mexico mine turquoise. Every stone and wood species is disclosed before you order.
Hand-Carved Cottonwood Root Keepsakes
Carved exclusively from fallen Rio Grande valley cottonwood root—light, fine-grained, and resistant to splitting in dry mountain interiors—finished in thin gesso and water-based earth pigments. Suits collectors seeking northern santero folk forms and handmade New Mexico souvenirs with clear chisel marks.
| Material | Seasoned Rio Grande cottonwood root, gesso & mineral pigment |
|---|---|
| Dimensions | 6" to 11" standing height (smaller tokens from $18) |
| Quote Basis | Depends on carving height, pigment layering, and carver |
Sterling Silver & Natural Turquoise Pendant
Heavy .925 sterling silver forged and hand-stamped around unstabilized natural Cerrillos or Royston mine turquoise cabochons. Unlike cast brass or dyed howlite imitations, each bezel is hand-beveled to fit the exact stone profile and stamped with the silversmith’s hallmark.
| Material | Solid .925 sterling silver, natural Cerrillos or Royston turquoise |
|---|---|
| Certification | Silversmith hallmark & disclosed mine provenance |
| Quote Basis | Depends on stone carat weight, mine grade, and silver gauge |
