Classes & Workshops
What You Will Do
You will visit the Chinchero town to participate in a textile workshop. You will meet with native weavers who will share their traditional weaving techniques with you at the Traditional Textile Center. You will attend a private demonstration presented by neighboring towns of weavers affiliated to the Center, which will show you the manufacturing process and the final garment. Each garment is really unique, a gem that is the result of methodical and meticulous work. The local techniques are old and institutions such as this have committed to promoting their preservation for the enjoyment of future generations. Natural elements and landscapes, such as mountains, stars, and rivers are shown in opaque colors, exclusively obtained from natural dyes. The wool is carded, spun, and dyed to create ponchos, belts, and shawls.
