Artisan Story
When I was 9 years old, I went out to play with my neighbors who were relatives of ours so I approached them and they told me if I wanted to learn and that was when they adapted a backstrap loom for me because there was no one of my size. I began to learn to weave on the backstrap loom. It was very complicated at first because there are many techniques such as brocade that are not so easy but with time, I managed to learn from my grandmother other techniques. We wove in different places like in the countryside. We tied our looms in the trees to coexist with nature and make designs inspired by the things we saw in the field. Over time, I improved and managed to make better designs that are the ones that today help me to support my family.
