Oxlajuj B'atz' ---- Thirteen Threads ---- Trece Hilos

Vasconcelos

This women's group organized 16 years ago and consists of 11 women.  They weave table runners using techniques that are unique to their group, baby blankets, small woven bracelets with beads woven in, and more. Some years ago a needle felt artist from New Hampshire came and taught them how to do needle felt, with which they now make and a variety of wool animal figurines.  In 2009, they participated in a natural dying workshop and learned how to dye thread using plants and resources found in the surrounding community.  They are currently working on new designs using naturally dyed thread.
