I don't know about huichol art but, i know that in Mitla, which you must visit, there is a tapestry local market, and other wood, cotton, products if you are interested.

oaxaca-travel.com/guide/inde... A good resource for someone who has never been here before. Yes, there are many markets wher textiles and weaving are available in great abundance in the City. You can read about them on the site that I have given you. It´s run by the Mexican government, but it is quite good and accurate. It gave me a real feeling for Oaxaca before I first came here. I´m sure that the oaxaca travel guide link will tell you about the Casa Mujeres (Women´s House), but what you should know is that this is an organization that brings crafts people of all types, including weavers, into the city to a central location where they practice, refine and learn new methods in their crafts. At the main location, you can watch them working and ask them questions. Around the corner is a huge 3 story building where their work is available for sale, at very fair prices. You might find something similar in the market for slightly less, but you really have to know what you are doing to buy in the markets. Some goods are imported, some machine made instead of produced on the traditional back-strap looms. If you would like any more information, or just to chat about Oaxaca send me an e-mail at: fusedmax@gmail.com Good luck on your travels, I look forward to meeting you in the Zocallo some day.
