Storia

“A beautiful book featuring intimate portrayals of a diverse group of Guatemalan artists and their works . . . [a] compelling presentation style.” —Library Journal

Against the backdrop of Guatemala, this book presents portraits of artisans working in the ancient traditions of the Maya paired with insights into the creation of the textiles and the events that have affected their work. Weaving, spinning, and basket making have sustained the Maya economically and culturally against the pressures of change and a thirty-six-year civil war that decimated their population. Their persistence in continuing traditional art has created some of the loveliest, most colorful textiles the world has ever known. Artisans share their personal histories, hopes, and dreams along with the products of their hands and looms. Their stories show determination in the face of unimaginable loss and hardship which instill an appreciation for the textiles themselves and for the strong people who create them.

“This is a beautifully illustrated book with enough technical information to interest weavers no matter what their skill level may be. The wealth of colour photographs of textiles will appeal to designers and collectors.” —Shelly Anderson, Textile Research Centre, trc-leiden.nl

“Deborah Chandler and Teresa Cordón weave a tale as rich and textured as the cloth they describe. It is a triumphant tale of personal artistry and innovation.” —Mary Anne Wise, president and co-founder, Cultural Cloth

“Weavers will especially love the detailed information about textile techniques, but every reader will love this tour of Guatemala and introduction to its people.” —Madelyn van der Hoogt, editor emerita, Handwoven
