a heartfelt thank you to our friends at Above Snakes for featuring xol original in your small business spotlight.

from the hands of 5th generation copper smiths in santa clara del cobre, each vessel carries generations of knowledge, patience, and respect for the craft.

these copper offerings are more than functional objects. they are a continuation of a living tradition where artistry, family lineage, and ancestral practices come together.

for generations, copper vessels have been part of traditional practices for storing and serving water. many cultures have honored copper for its natural properties and incorporated copper vessels into daily rituals as a way of connecting with intentional living, natural materials, and the wisdom passed down through generations.

our infographic shares the traditional and cultural significance of copper vessels and why these timeless pieces continue to hold meaning today.

each hammer mark reflects the hands of the maker, the story of the community, and a craft kept alive through generations.

New offerings have arrived from our friends at Dancing Elk Designs.

Each piece is handcrafted from naturally shed antlers, thoughtfully paired with sterling silver, 14k gold fill accents, and carefully selected natural stones. No two are ever exactly alike, making each one a small expression of the natural world.

Stop by the trading post see these beautiful new works in person and find the piece that speaks to you.

Vote for the stories, artists, and traditions behind every handcrafted piece.

Every handcrafted piece carries a story. Every artist carries generations of knowledge, skill, and tradition. When you choose to support things that are made, not manufactured, you help keep those stories alive.

If Xol Original has inspired you, introduced you to an artist, helped you discover something meaningful, or reminded you of the enduring value of craftsmanship, we would be honored to have your vote in Albuquerque The Magazine's Best of the City 2026.

As a nonprofit, every recognition helps us introduce more people to Indigenous artists, invest in cultural preservation, and expand opportunities for artisans whose work deserves to be seen and celebrated.

Thank you for believing in the people behind the work and for walking this path with us.

🗳️ Voting is open now through August 1, 2026.

Between Earth and Sky
Mixed Media on Panel | 30 Ă— 30 in.
By Elwyn FineArt

Some works of art do not tell a single story. They invite you to find your own.

A flicker rests beside a tipi beneath the moon while symbols of tradition, creativity, and ceremony come together in a single composition. Every element feels intentional, revealing something new each time you pause.

Created by our resident artist, Elwyn Shorthair, this original work reminds us that Indigenous culture is living, evolving, and deeply connected to both memory and the present.

Visit Xol Original to experience this piece in person and discover the stories waiting within each brushstroke.

A beautiful beginning.

This weekend, we gathered with community, artists, culture bearers, family, and friends to celebrate the ribbon cutting of Xol Original’s new home in Albuquerque.

This space was created for you. A place to discover handcrafted works, connect with Indigenous artistry, honor traditional knowledge, and support the people who keep these living traditions thriving.

Every step that brought us here was made possible by community. Thank you for showing up, believing in this vision, and helping us create a place where stories, culture, and creativity can be shared for generations to come.

We invite you to visit, explore, and walk in a good way with us.
