I had the good fortune of attending a backstrap weaving class with Cristina. She was patient and thorough throughout the session and despite my fumbling Spanish, we were able to communicate with the assistance of Sucy. I look forward to continuing my practice with a take-home loom and am hopeful I will return for more classes in Antigua.
Doña Eve es increíble al enseñar con delicadeza y paciencia. Gran experta en su arte. Overall the experience was amazing. Great instruction, attention, and knowledge. After the workshop they treated us to cacao tea and bread which paired perfectly with the overcast weather.
This class with Doña Eve was the highlight of my trip to Antigua. Highly recommend making an appointment, Thank you Kakaw!
As a sewing and fabric lover I had to take a backstrap weaving class with Doña Cristina. Luckily my weaving project was already prepared with the most beautiful colours and pattern. With a lot of patience and humour Cristina taught me all the steps and slowly I started seeing my progress, which is an amazing feeling. The more I improved, the more personal tips Cristina gave me to improve the quality of my weaving. I felt super at ease and relaxed, thanks to Cristinas lovely energy and in this super idillic garden.
100% recommendable, also for beginners.
Don't forget to take a look in the shop, there are so many lovely designs and products.
On April 1, 2024 I spent a joyfilled 2 hours with Eve at Kawkaw learning backstrap weaving. Her patience and skill made for a delightful class.
Yes, I had fun. Yes, I will make mistakes while I attempt to do it at home. No, I will not be a master weaver, but joy will fill my thoughts every time I pick up my weaving because of Kawkaw Designs.
