Guatemalan Basket Makers Triumph - ClothRoads

Two years ago, I wrote this blog about our visit with the Guatemalan basket makers at the Mayan Hands field office in Panajachel. Every time ClothRoads receives a shipment of baskets, we marvel at the ingenuity and skill of the women who make them. We've followed along with their updates on the need to train more groups to keep up with orders, how long it takes to train women to work with plant fibers when they have been weavers working on backstrap looms for many years, and how they create new designs.
