Experience an authentic class diving into the heritage art of backstrap weaving. This class is offered a beautiful colonial garden in central Antigua, just 3 blocks away from the Central Park. This convenient location makes it a great morning activity. Throughout Guatemala, vibrant textiles reflect deep cultural pride and generations of skilled craftsmanship. Creating a loom of your own will provide essential background knowledge and appreciation for all participants as they explore Guatemala. Our Warping Class is always offered one-on-one, honoring the way master weavers prefer to pass on their knowledge, as it is how they learned the craft themselves.
