We went by bus to visit a women’s cooperative of rug weavers in Teotitlan del Valle. We were introduced to the whole concept of weaving from the carding of the wool; to spinning; dyeing, then weaving. It was very interesting to find out the natural materials that w
were/are used by this indigenous group such as cochineal, marigold flowers, indigo to name but a few.
We also had a wonderful mean at the restaurant there which was from old Zapotec recipes. Abigail Mendoza Ruiz has just published a book containing these wonderful recipes but it is just in Spanish at present. Enjoy the photos of the day.
