Mexico Trunk Show Going to Asheville, Last Day in Durham, North Carolina

Posted on Sunday, April 8, 2018 | Comments Off on Mexico Trunk Show Going to Asheville, Last Day in Durham, North Carolina

INDIO Durham — Final Day Today, 1-5 pm

We have had a successful show at INDIO Durham, thanks to owner Wendy Sease and our many NC friends. This is our last day, so if you live around the NC Triangle please stop by to say hello. We have many beautiful things to show you.

We go to Asheville on Wednesday to show Omar Chavez Santiago the North Carolina mountains. There is a rich Appalachian weaving and spinning tradition in these parts and many makers who are creating beautiful cloth. It’s Omar’s first US visit. Miraculously, he got a 10-year visa!

On Thursday, April 12, we will be at Echoview Fiber Mill in Weaverville, NC, to show beautiful hand-woven, hand-spun wool rugs colored with natural dyes from Galeria Fe y Lola in Oaxaca. I will have a collection of Mexico clothing and jewelry for sale, too.

Please Share!

Omar is 24 years old, born and raised in the Zapotec rug weaving village of Teotitlan del Valle, Oaxaca, and is a fluent English speaker. His family has worked in 100% natural dyes for over 20 years. He just graduated from university with a degree in industrial engineering and his love is for creating innovative designs that reflect his ancient 8,000 year old culture is embedded in the cloth.

He thinks the people here are very kind, and he especially appreciates that pedestrians have the right of way. Every chance he gets, he will order a hamburger. He is running an algorithm on the best burger in Durham, NC.
