Additional Info

Artisan

Ofelia, Larrainzar, Chiapas

Huipiles, blouses, capes and bags in backstrap loom

Ofelia has been embroidering for 20 years and belongs to a collective of 10 people. Most of the artisans have learned the work since they were little girls, they learned by playing with their mother's leftover threads.

Ofelia says that she used leftover thread from her mother´s orders , to assemble a small loom for her. This is how essentially she got into it. You can sense her passion for embroidery when she talks about this story.

Her mother is a woman with an extraordinary energy, active in every way. They both are very hard working women who open the doors of their home without hesitation.

I was delighted to meet them and to see the love and commitment they put into their work.
