Quetzal Crafts

In the outskirts of Antigua, Guatemala these 3 different women's groups exist. They are comprised of women from the Mayan Tribe. These women are heirs of the long line of weavers and embroiderers. They come from very rural areas in Guatemala and exist off of very little income. Their main product is the Wipil - The large pieces of woven fabric, which they hand embroider or weave designs into them. Our hopes are they can make more smaller items for greater sales on a more regular basis.

Ricardo Canu - About 2 hours outside of Antigua this talented man resides. He has been painting for many years and has supported his family from his art. Recently he just completed college courses and is now a lawyer. He sells his items tosouvenirshops throughout Guatemala City and Antigua.
