3Teotitlan del Valle
In Teotitlán del Valle you will meet true masters of textile art who have preserved their craft for generations. Here, very few workshops still preserve the ancestral techniques of natural dyes obtained from plants and insects like the cochineal that they meticulously use to dye their wool threads. During your visit, the master weaver will share with you the history, the weaving process on the traditional pedal loom, and the deep symbolism held in his designs. You will have the opportunity to touch the materials, see up close how the colors of nature come to life, and converse directly with the artisan family in a relaxed environment.
