"Connecting to the world through weaving" - Project on The Wonderment

Connecting to the world through weaving

Gloria

I was born in the Q’ero Nation high in the Andes mountains in Peru. I learned to weave from my grandmother, mother and other women in my community. The weaving that we did in my home was all by hand. We made the yarn from the alpaca wool that came from our alpacas. We dyed the yarn ourselves and each garment takes hours and hours of work. This is my skill and each design has meaning and tells the story of the Q’ero culture.

I love to experience the world and learn other cultures. I also love to share my unique culture with the world through the fabrics that I create.
