Itinéraire
Immerse yourself in Guatemala’s rich weaving traditions during this private three-hour workshop with a Kaqchikel Maya master weaver. In the peaceful setting of our lush Antigua garden studio, you’ll create a traditional backstrap loom entirely by hand—all yours to take with you to continue weaving (approx. 9" x 23").
All materials are provided: cotton threads in a variety of colors, all wooden rods necessary for the loom, a belt, rope, and a canvas bag for carrying your finished loom. A light snack and refreshment are also included in the middle of the class. This is a private class, taught one-on-one just as the teachers themselves were taught.
