  • L'artisanat traditionnel du cuivre au Mexique remonte à la période préhispanique, essentiellement limitée à l'ancien empire Purépecha, dans les actuels états de Michoacán et de Jalisco. La raison en est que c'est le seul endroit où du cuivre peut être trouvé à la surface. Après la conquête espagnole de l'empire aztèque, les Espagnols prennent le contrôle de la production de cuivre, introduisant des techniques européennes mais nécessitant encore une main-d'œuvre autochtone. Le travail du cuivre, comme d'autres métiers, est principalement organisé à Michoacán sous Vasco de Quiroga. On ne sait pas quand la ville de Santa Clara del Cobre commence à se spécialiser dans la production d’articles en cuivre, mais elle est bien établie au milieu du XVIIIe siècle. L'extraction du cuivre reste centrée sur le Michoacán pendant la période coloniale, mais l'essentiel de la production est abandonné au XIXe siècle. Après la révolution mexicaine, les forgerons de Santa Clara se contentent de travailler avec de la ferraille, fabriquant des pots, des assiettes, des casseroles et d’autres récipients. Aujourd'hui, le village abrite des centaines de forgerons, qui travaillent de manière peu différente de celle de la période coloniale, et accueille chaque année la Feria del Cobre (foire du cuivre) en août.

Copper extraction remained centered on Michoacán during the colonial period but most of the production gave out by the 19th century. After the Mexican Revolution, copper smiths of Santa Clara were limited to working with scrap metal making pots, plates, casseroles and other containers. Today, it remains home to hundreds of copper smiths which work in ways little changed from the colonial period and is home to the annual Feria del Cobre (Copper Fair) in August. (en)
