Barriletes in Sumpango

Claribel is our friend from Sumpango, a town known for beautiful traditional neckline embroidery full of flowers, volcanoes, and other motifs reminiscent of the town's famous Barriletes, the giant kites flown for All Saints' Day. She is also a master embroideress with so much experience sharing her textile tradition with those interested. You can just feel how she radiates with pride and joy as she talks about the different traditional motifs and stitches, even from afar on your computer screen!

This 2-hour class includes:

  • A canvas tote made by social project mi.eelo, pre-stenciled by Claribel for easy embroidery in the special barrilete (traditional giant kite) design
  • A variety of naturally-dyed cotton threads
  • A small snack in our garden
  • A PDF guide with pre-recorded close-up videos of each of the stitches for review after class (the website will send you the download link after class)

 

 

The class will be held on Friday, Oct 25th from 10am-12noon Guatemala time with Claribel as the teacher and Evelyn as the facilitator and if necessary, translator. Our studio is located at 1a Avenida Sur #4B in Antigua Guatemala.

Claribel es nuestra amiga de Sumpango, un pueblo conocido por sus hermosos bordados tradicionales de cuellos llenos de flores. Esta clase de 2 horas incluye todos los materiales para bordar tu propio bolso y una guía en PDF con instrucciones sobre cada una de las puntadas tradicionales para el bordado.

El bolso de lona hecho por mi.eelo ya está dibujado por Claribel para facilitar el bordado, y queda muy bien con los hilos de algodón teñidos naturalmente que utilizamos. Podrás elegir tus propias preferencias de color.
