Weave with Antonio Cornelio of Tzintzuntzan! Antonio is preparing star-weaving workshop for his students. This is a more intricate class, and allows you to make your piece from start to finish. Not all classes can include a beginning to end structure, due to the time consuming aspects, such as drying time for paper mache, firing for clay, or carving for wood pieces, all of which take several days.

GABANES SERVIN
PEDDLE LOOM WEAVING CLASS
$300 MXN + $50 MXN Workshop Fee
YOU MUST PRESENT YOUR WORKSHOP COUPON TO START YOUR CLASS
We weren't sure it was possible for the artists to bring their loom to the festival, so were very pleased when Gabanes Servin said Yes! This class involves weaving a small coaster on their peddle loom.
​
As this is a one-on-one class, it is more limited than others. It is difficult to reserve times, as we are unsure how long each project may take, depending on the student. Please check in at the Weaving Tent in the garden, and let them know you are interested!
