Wool Weaving using traditional looms.
Tradition Meets Community
with Don Gelacio Mendez,
from Santa Ana del Valle, Oaxaca, learned the art of wool weaving as a child. Using his traditional loom and ancient techniques, Don Gelacio shares his work and knowledge with the community, offering unique rugs, bags, and other woolen art pieces. He’s sharing the Oaxacan heritage with Santa Ana. Every woven piece he makes helps preserve these traditions and supports local artists.
For Duugich Art, La Colmena provides a platform for preserving Oaxacan heritage through art, empowering local artisans like Don Gelacio to share their ancestral weaving techniques with the community. This fosters cultural exchange and supports traditional craftsmanship.
