In the rhythm of weaving, we find connection.

Live Weaving Demonstration by Maya Artisans Santa and Catarina in store on Saturday, October 19. We invite you to experience a unique event in our store—a live weaving demonstration by Maya women Santa and Catarina. These talented artisans will be weaving cotton placemats for Que Onda Vos on a traditional backstrap loom, an ancient technique passed down through generations.

What makes these placemats truly special is the material used. The cotton yarn comes from a limited stock that Que Onda Vos has carefully collected over the years. This hand-spun, naturally colored cotton represents the end of an era. The generation of women who produced this unique yarn is now nearly gone, making these placemats a rare and irreplaceable treasure. Don’t miss the opportunity to witness this extraordinary weaving process and learn about the craft and tradition behind each piece.

Join us on October 19 to celebrate the skills of Santa and Catarina, and take home a piece of history with their unique placemats.

We look forward to seeing you there!
