Kantong Pouch

Nice to meet you, I’m Agripina! My community and I make textiles with Ethnotek using a process called ‘jaspe’. The raw warp yarn is tied and dyed in sections, then spooled onto bobbins, which feed the treadle loom to complete the textiles. Weaving is created at my workshop and with my friend Manuel-Francisco in our village, Paxtoca. Your tips will be split amongst our community every month in proportion to the amount of weaving each person has completed. Muchas gracias!

Hi, I’m Charles Acquah, I’m from the Somanya village in Ghana and have a workshop in Accra where I make all of Ethnotek’s batik fabrics with my son Nathaniel. Our motif designs are inspired by traditional Adinkra symbols. We hope you love our textile art. Your tips will go directly to me and my family, thank you for supporting our craft!

Hola, we are Lidia, Blanca and Alida! We are creators of the very rare Mayan Star Motif and will soon be leaving the weaving trade, but are happy to say that our new weaving partners Alirio, Rosa, Felipe and Etelvina in San Marcos are carrying on our tradition. Your tips will be split amongst our communities every month in proportion to the amount of weaving each person has completed. We thank you very much for the support!
