Susanne, the main street through Teotitlan del Valle is Avenida Benito Juarez. Continue on this street toward the mountains. At the top of the hill close to the dam, is the house for Arte y Seda. There is a large sign above the gateway. You cannot miss it. The street name is Avenida Benito Juarez. I do not know the house number.

Hi Does one go through the village of Teotitlan and where the village ends one can find Arte y Seda? Is there no street name or house number?

You can contact Arte y Seda in Teotitlan del Valle, they are at the end of Avenida Benito Juarez on on the outskirts of Teotitlan on the road toward the mountain village of Benito Juarez. I don’t know if they sell the silk fibers, but you can ask them! There is also a silk weaving village, San Pedro Cojones (I think this is the spelling) in the mountains about 2 hours from Oaxaca.

Hi, Jim. Arte y Seda is located on Avenida Benito Juarez, on the right side of the road heading out of the village northwest toward Benito Juarez and the presa (dam). Continue on after the paved road ends. The family are relatives of the people who are in the Bii Dauu cooperativa.
