About Us

Artesanías Paty is a craft workshop in La Palma Chalatenango, El Salvador focused to the elaboration of high quality handmade crafts with more than 20 years in the field. Each of our crafts carry the historical touch of the city known as the "Crib of Peace" due to the fact that the first peace dialogs in the armed conflict or the 1980s happened in La Palma. It's because of this that the pieces carry the iconography proposed by the renown artist Fernando Llort during that time. However, it's worth mentioning that nowadays innovation has been necessary, to update the iconography and find new and exciting ways to express our traditions and beliefs, which is why Artesanias Paty gives to our clients a brand of innovative pieces with different graphical or structural enhancements without losing their identity as La Palma crafts.
With more than 20 years of experience, Artesanias Paty has export quality, working with partners around the world, including the United States, Guatemala, Italy and Germany.
Since 2013 we've been sharing the joy and passion we pour into each of our pieces with the people who visit us, imparting painting classes that allows you to take home the piece you work with, as a souvenir of the experience, so you can remember us when you arrive home.

Live the iconography
Artesanías Paty puts a lot of effort in innovating and offering crafts, as well as quality services. That's why from more than 5 years we offer a Experiential Program, in which short painting classes are imparted to customers who visit us may opt to paint their own pieces, and in that way living the experience of creating their own craft, making the customer and the piece bond in a deeper way. Artesanias Paty is the first and only workshop in La Palma providing this service.
Due to the duration of the class and the drying time of the pieces, it's recommended that the customer takes the class as the first activity in the day when visiting La Palma, so when finished he or she can take other activities in the area and at the end of them come back for the piece.
