After a well-deserved local lunch, the family of Josefina invites us in to learn about their
trade. Oozing with passion for their craft we see how determined they are to keep the
weaving tradition going through the generations and share it with us.
From raw sheep wool to colored threads and finally beautiful bright carpets, you will learn about the process of dying and weaving on a traditional loom.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Also fascinating, the unique tradition of the village of candle making and wax decorations
for special events in town. Another demonstration, hands on with local artesanos of
Teotitlan del Valle.


An inspiring and delightful visit!

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.
