Traditional Textile Center of Cusco

"I did the one day workshop and really enjoyed myself. Although I speak very little Spanish I mostly understood what was required except it did take me until the afternoon to really understand what I was doing and I have experience with textiles. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because I think everyone would benefit from completing at least one bracelet before ending the workshop. I highly recommend doing as many days as you can afford both financially and time wise!"

"Ein interessanter und lehrreicher Tag war das und wir hatten es nebst dem hochkonzentrierten Arbeiten auch lustig mit unseren lieben, geduldigen Lehrerinnen. Ich hatte heute den Handspindelkurs gebucht und werde noch den 2-Tageskurs für die andinische Weberei absolvieren. Absolut empfehlenswert, ob für Anfänger oder Kennerinnen."

"Super, wenn man sich für Weberei und die traditionelle Weberei insbesondere der Umgebung interessiert. Das Museum ist kostenlos und man kann den Frauen beim Weben zuschauen. Die Produkte sind sehr schön und aufgrund der Handarbeit auch fair vom Preis."

"One of the things that I really wanted to do when we were in Cusco was to support the local vendors. This shop came recommended to us for local textiles. I'm really happy that we stopped here as when we walked in we were greeted with local people actually making new garments. I was able to purchase a few things including a hat and a sweater. Each piece that was purchased had the name of the person that made it. Easy to get to and the prices were very reasonable. If you're looking for local crafts. I highly recommend it. Additionally, we went upstairs to the second floor where there was a weaving class going on."

"Very interesting museum and amazing to see the weavers at work! The handmade textiles were a bit out of our price range, but after seeing them being woven right in front of me, the prices completely make sense."

"Great workshop! Knittings not really my thing, but I found this peaceful and relaxing (although definitely challenging mentally so be prepared to use some brain power!)"

"We did the half day textile class and it was so cool! Our instructors were great - very friendly and helpful"

"Great experience, very personal and unique to the area."
