Join Sari Monroy Solís (Maya Kaqchikel/Xicana fiber artist) in this two-hour workshop that includes both a history and instruction on how to use a Mayan backstrap loom.
Weaving on a Mayan backstrap loom is an ancestral art that dates to time immemorial and continues to be used today. It is a traditional expression of culture and identity in Indigenous communities of Central and South America. In this workshop, you will learn about the history of the backstrap loom and how to use it to make brocade cloth. You will learn to weave with the help of your teacher, Sari Monroy, who was taught to weave by her elders and community in Guatemala. The class will use 100% cotton thread and work with a traditional wood loom while learning the history of its structure and connection to culture and identity.
