Come share with us a 10-day tapestry weaving workshop designed and taught by Maximo Laura for weavers of all levels of experience.

You will learn, hands-on, the process and techniques used by Maximo Laura in a unique learning environment, taught by the master himself.

Maestro Maximo Laura is an internationally renowed textile artist known for his tapestry techniques and use of color.

He combines ancient traditions from the Andes with contemporary tapestry weaving, as well as his own textured techniques, to create tapestries that are vibrant in color and in textures.

He has been designated as one of Peru’s “Living Human Treasures”. This important award is given, following UNESCO guidelines, to an artist whose role is to preserve and elevate the culture of their homeland.

Throughout his 35+ years as a tapestry weaver, he has exhibited his work in more than 29 countries, winning many awards in an international and national level.

This workshop is designed to adapt to the experience of each participant, as you will have the personal hand of Maximo Laura assisting the group during the workshop, along with three Master Weavers, Jim Laura, Richar Laura and Paola Laura.

It is open for beginners, intermediate and advanced weavers. Although it is not a requirement, we recommend participants to have basic previous experience on a loom, to be able to take more advantage of this workshop.

Maestro Laura and the Master Weavers will be with you throughout all of the workshop.
