Figurine Glass Artistry Now Available at Mexico's Velas Vallarta

Local Artists Juan Carlos Balseca Rivas & Luis Rosas Rivas Demonstrate the Art of Glass Blowing During Resort's Weekly Mexican Fiesta

 

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (February 27, 2017) – Velas Vallarta in Puerto Vallarta now offers guests live glass blowing during its weekly Mexican fiesta celebration. Local Mexican glassmiths Luis Rosas Rivas and Juan Carlos Balseca Rivas blow and paint (respectively) the glass figurines, also available for purchase. The offering is another example of Velas Resorts' commitment to showcasing the local art and fashion of Mexico, which also includes past exhibitions from Rosana Sanchez, Benito Santos, Melin Castro, Hoja Verde, Lyne Jewels, Alejandro Carlín, Juan Barba, Ricardo Duarte Mendez and Martha Collignon.

 

Glass blowing is a centuries-old tradition in the Mexican culture. The very first glass made in North America was produced in Puebla, Mexico around 1535 to 1542 by artisans brought by the Spanish. Although these original glass works were short lived, glass blowing was reintroduced to Mexico hundreds of years ago and flourished due to the ingenuity of the Mexican arts and crafts tradition.

 

Every Sunday, the Mexican fiesta at Velas Vallarta features live music by a mariachi band and Mexican folk dancers, traditional Mexican cuisine and local artisans displaying their work during the event.
