AUDA
(Uruguayan Craftsmen Association) is the most important corporative and
formal association of craftsmen in Uruguay since its foundation in 1983.
In
this year 2007 the association reaches its first 24 years of life.
From
that so distant and so near 1983, a lot of water has run under the bridge.
There
have been many efforts, sacrifices, dreams and concretions.
Discover
the best Uruguayan handcrafts from more than 300 workshops, with a great
variety of techniques and materials, that goes straight from the craftsman
to your hands.
24
years of self management by the Uruguayan Craftsmen Association, support
