This is more than a weaving workshop — it’s an intimate cultural exchange led by a native Zapotec artisan in the heart of Teotitlán del Valle.
You will connect directly with a living textile tradition that has been passed down through generations. We work exclusively with natural fibers and plant-based dyes, prepared by hand using ancestral techniques.
Rather than simply observing, guests actively participate in every step of the process — from learning about the plants and cochineal used to create vibrant colors, to weaving their own piece on a traditional loom.
The experience also includes a homemade meal prepared with local ingredients, creating a warm and meaningful human connection — not just a class, but a genuine window into our Zapotec way of life.

What to expect
Next, we will introduce the natural materials used in our weaving process, including wool, threads, and the plants and insects used for natural dyes. You’ll learn how to wash and prepare the wool before dyeing it with vibrant, natural colors.
After a light meal, you’ll start weaving on a traditional loom, creating a small piece to take home as a unique souvenir of your experience.
