A Guatemalan textile glossary created by our friends at Casa Flor Designs. As cultural mediators, they help artisans and designers understand each other, show mutual respect and work together with clarity. This glossary is meant to be a resource to better understand the complexities of Guatemalan textiles: the tools and processes required to make them, the parts that comprise them, and how to speak about them appropriately and with respect.

Céline Gaiardo is an entrepreneur and creative who has spent the past decade living between France and Central America.

As a photographer, Céline has documented her life, work, and travels through Guatemala and Mexico, capturing rural landscapes, the slower pace of life, and artisans at work, showcasing their craftsmanship.

We were fortunate to host talented photographer and friend Luna Antonia Arboleda on our Textile Traditions Retreat that takes place on the shores of Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. Luna brought along her film camera and beautifully documented the journey.
