Ixtle
is a fiber extracted from the lechugilla plant and used
to weave hammocks, rugs, and bags. The Department of
Ecology of the State Government of Coahuila is
encouraging people to work by offering scholarships to
learn this skill and by helping to support family-run
workshops. Craftsman José Isabel Quiroz learned how to
weave ixtle from his father, who still works with him.
Quiroz’s wife puts the finishing touches on the
crafts. (Read full interview) |
