Item Description
In "Traditional Weavers of Guatemala", twenty artisans share with Deborah Chandler and Teresa Cordon their personal histories, hopes, and dreams along with tthe products of their hands and looms. Guatemala is a land of contrasts: stunning mountain, river, and cloud forest landscapes with the constant threat of volcanic eruptions, mudslides, earthquakes, and brutal political upheavels. Against this backdrop, the indigenous Maya and their Ladino compatriots persist in creating some of the loveliest and most colorful textiles the world has known.
Traveling the back roads of the Guatemala highlands through vivid pictures and personal stories, you will gain an appreciation of the subtle but important differences from one village to another in their uses of color, pattern, and style - and how those are evolving over time.
Includes 214 photos by Joe Coca
Deborah Chandler is the author of "Learning to Weave", published in 1996. More than 40,000 weavers have used this unparalleled study guide to learn from scratch or to hone their skills, this is recognized as the "how to" book of weaving.
