The humblest of materials is transformed into a piece of art after it arrives into the hands of these well-known and skilled craftsmen. Their handiwork comes alive as onlookers awe in wonder at their dexterity, such as when making handmade jewelry. Materials such as wood, bamboo, clay, leather, seeds, fabric, and macramé, become beautiful objets d'art as craftsmen work in the 52 permanent modules at this bazaar-like marketplace sponsored by the Mayor's Office of Medellín.
