Gudi, a second-generation foot loom weaver, is the youngest artisan we collaborate with. Supporting the next generation of weavers is essential to preserving Guatemala’s rich textile heritage, and Gudi embodies this mission with his eagerness to learn and experiment with new techniques. He works from his family’s weaving workshop, perched on the top floor of their home, where breathtaking views of Lake Atitlán and its three surrounding volcanoes provide endless inspiration. Creativity runs deep in his family—his siblings specialize in painting, backstrap weaving, and ceramics, each contributing to a legacy of artistry.
