About
Take a morning to learn the Maya art of backstrap weaving in a beautiful central Antigua courtyard, surrounded by plants. Sit alongside a master weaver and learn her story.
Guatemala is a country rich in its textile tradition, with lots of colors everywhere. But do you know what it really takes to create a weaving? Beginners can gain appreciation of this tradition, and advanced weavers can dive into the nitty gritty details of single-sided or even double-sided brocade. Stitch by stitch, learn to weave a traditional motif.

Are you ready to turn your hobbies into a business?
You'll sit in our lush open courtyard and learn how to weave on a traditional backstrap loom. Our master weaver instructors will guide you step-by-step.
Beginner weavers to advanced weavers, everyone welcome! Start with the most basic plain weave, or advance to brocade right away. One-on-one sessions allow you to advance as fast or as slow as you'd like.
Your instructor will first demonstrate, and then sit beside you to guide you along. We have looms for you to use for free during class, and looms available for purchase that you can take home.
