From online backstrap weaving classes to travel-intensive week-long itineraries in rural Guatemala, we believe in sustainable travel and overall experiences that benefit local artists through income generation and idea exchange. Through hands-on experiences that allow for mutual learning, we facilitate meaningful connections to be formed.
Connecting international creatives with local artisan groups for mutually-beneficial experiences through in-person and online workshops as well as travel itineraries in Guatemala.
