Margaux took us to artists' homes in Teotitlan del Valle that we would never have been able to connect with on our own. A wonderful family shared their knowledge of the process starting from raw wool, preparing it for spinning, spinning, dying with natural materials, and weaving. We were welcome to try our hand at spinning and weaving. We visited two weaving families and a candle making family who create beautiful wax flowers which I had never seen before. We took a hike through the local hills where Margo's sharp eyes located several birds: egrets, vultures, flycatchers and so many more. She is quite an expert on birds and the local vegetation. Quite a wonderful adventure that I highly recommend. I should also mention that the lunch we were served in an artist's home was wonderful too.
