Shared experience is what brings a community together. Creating with our hands, learning new things, and enjoying time outdoors is good for the soul. This is what the Luna Zorro Studio experience is about - we love to bring people together to create memories. Discover our traditional weaving, natural plant dyes, and creative, hands-on classes and workshops taught by Maya artisans and local artists.
In the Loom Weaving Workshop led by master artisan Doña Lidia, students are introduced to traditional loom techniques passed down through generations. Participants will learn how to prepare the loom and begin weaving their own textile, guided step by step through the process.
Please note that we require a minimum of eight participants for this experience and need one months notice to organize.
Materials Included: All weaving materials and loom setup will be provided. Each student will leave with a small woven textile sample created during the session.
