We are with our dear friend Olga Reiche who uses natural dyes on cotton thread and works with indigenous weavers in Coban, Guatemala. They weave very fine gauze cotton blusas in indigo, cochineal, wild marigold, avocado, and other plant materials used for dyeing. Olga has known me and Eric for many years and she agreed to only work with us for a specialized experience visiting textile weavers and villages in Guatemala. She knows all the best makers! We will do this 10-day textile exploration trip again in 2026 so send an email if you want to be notified about this.
These are photos of our indigo dye workshop with Olga—a half-day hands-on experience in Antigua.
