A Glossary for Traditional Textiles from Guatemala

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.
