The Workshop of Martha, is an amazing story that became reality in the state of Mexico, Michoacan. The revival of a foot loom workshop with merino sheeps, brought from Australia for milk production of a factory closeby. A completely amazing adventure worthwhile integrating in our group of artisans.

During our first encounter with this talented artisan cooperative, we were immediately inspired by their weaving philosophy–to represent the beauty of nature. It is a simple concept, but their execution of this idea is full of passion and integrity. Any color that's not native to Michoacan natural landscapes is off-limits. Strata of reds, oranges, and browns are reminiscent of dusty mountains and deep blues of the Pacific Ocean hugging Mexico coastline.

Talk about strong women. This cooperative of Zapotec women was started by Esperanza, the oldest of five sisters, as a way to provide for her family after they lost their father. She, and about 150 families in Teotitlán del Valle, a pueblo about 20 miles from the city of Oaxaca, are well known for the quality of their textiles. Weaving in the pueblo dates back hundreds of years. “It is a work that we carry in our blood,” she said.

When we visited these women, they couldn’t wait to show us their handiwork – their faces beamed with pride as they told us about the different stories and symbols found throughout their weavings.
