Handicrafts are part of the diversity of goods that are produced in some rural areas, men and women participate in different ways in the elaboration, commercialization and benefits obtained from them. This article aims to show some experiences and challenges faced by women and men artisans in the state of Tlaxcala. The research was conducted in 2016. Based on qualitative methodology, through in-depth interviews, questionnaire and participant observation, we analyzed the dynamics of productive, reproductive and commercial work of three artisanal products. The results show that in spite of the benefits that artisan producers obtain from handicrafts as an important source of family income, women tripled their working hours, so it is important to consider gender relations in artisanal work.
