Artisan - Lucia Maria Perez Vazquez
Zinacantan, Mexico

When I was little, I used to watch my mom and my sisters working on the backstrap looms and my curiosity arose. Then, my mom decided to adapt a small loom so I could learn. It was complicated because it was very hard for me to learn but with patience, I managed. I began to study to become a dressmaker. I arrived in the afternoons to continue learning and helping to create the pieces and so I improved until I made my own designs that today I sell and help me to get ahead.
