Artisan - Alejandra Santiz Hernández
San Andres Larrainzar, Mexico
Our grandmothers and mothers taught us to weave on the backstrap loom especially so that we could make our own clothes. Nowadays, many women in town no longer like to practice it so they choose to buy from those of us who continue with the tradition and that is how I sometimes sell my pieces and I can get some extra money.
