Description

We'll welcome you to our home-workshop in Miraflores, a peaceful space where weaving is part of our everyday life. We'll start by talking about the natural fibers we'll use, such as alpaca, cotton, sheep's wool, chambira, and more, and how they are sourced and processed by hand. Then you'll learn to weave on a frame loom, starting with a simple approach that requires no previous experience. Each person will be able to choose their fibers and colors to create their own piece, at their own pace, with step-by-step guidance. As we weave, we'll share stories about textiles in Peru and their connection to memory, the land, and everyday life. At the end, you can take your woven piece home as a souvenir of an experience that connects hands, history, and the present. This is not just a workshop — it's an invitation to see handmade crafts from a new perspective and to get an insider's view of a living part of our history. We'll meet at our workshop-home in Miraflores. All materials are included, and no previous experience is required.
