MayaMamWeavers

Hola! We are a group of Maya Mam women living in Guatemala. All of our products are made by hand. We have tried to design contemporary products using the designs and techniques of our ancestors. We would like to share with you some of the wisdom of our ancestors, and so we have woven or embroidered traditional symbols into our products. A brief explanation of the meaning of the symbols accompanies each product. Some of our products are woven on the backstrap loom, the traditional loom of the Maya people, and some are woven on foot looms. We use sewing machines to construct the products, and all the embroidery is done by hand.

***By the way, we like to do custom work as well. Just let us know what you'd like and we can make a proposal to you!***

Caryn Maxim is our liaison (and translator) in the United States. She lives in NJ and visits us here in Guatemala each month. She has some of our products already in NJ and ready to send out to you.

If you need to reach her, you can call her when she is in NJ at 201.572.7974 and if she is in Guatemala her phone is 502.5785.5276.
