Weaving Workshop
For decades, our artisan partners in Patacancha have been weaving textiles on backstrap looms, creating colorful and intricate designs from the materials and ingredients that are endemic to the lush and vibrant region. During this one-day workshop, you’ll experience their ancestral textile-making process from start to finish. You’ll get to help wash and spin the alpaca wool yarn; tint it with natural and botanical dyes; and choose the colors and patterns for a wall-hanging you’ll create with your own hands, with the close mentorship of the artisan community. The day will also include a homemade lunch and ample demonstrations and expositions of local traditions – the kind that visitors don’t typically get to experience up close.
