    Weaving demonstration

    February 13, 2018 in Guatemala ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F

    I went to see a weaving demonstration organized by the school. We were shown the process from picking the cotton, which grows on trees here, rather than bushes, spinning it into thread, dying it with all natural dyes from plants, through to the weaving on a backstrap loom. It's an incredible amount of work. And the fabrics are beautiful.
