THE CENTER FOR TRADITIONAL TEXTILES OF CUSCO

ABOUT CTTC AND THE COMMUNITIES

This needs to be more widely shared ... just amazing what can be accomplished in relatively primitive conditions. I collected Andean textiles in 1967-9 and again in 1977-8 when I lived in Colombia and Bolivia and traveled in Peru ... Time and again when I look at Western attempts to learn and replicate the amazing finesse of the women and men of the Andes I am amazed at how crude their efforts look compared to the amazing artisenia of the Andean people. I am so grateful CTTC and others are working to protect the heritage of Andean cultures and ensure their amazing skills are passed on to new generations.

Super information. That's it! It's their form of mediation isn't it? I'm certain. The concentration involved.

All humans should be educated on how to create their own things in a natural way
