FB904 Mayan Back-Strap Weaving With Concepcion Poou Coy Tharin

February 23, 2026 @ 2:00 pm 5:00 pm

Mondays, 6 Week Class
All levels welcome!

The ancient Mayan art of back-strap weaving is a delicate and beautiful art form, highly portable (you can tie it to any post, tree, or even a nail in the wall), and you can make original table runners, scarves, place mats, shawles and much more. Students will learn to warp the thread, set up a loom, and then weave a small table runner with traditional Mayan designs. The thread (many colors), loom, needle, back-strap, and the cord are included in the materials fee. 

Ages 17 and up. *Please note this art form requires students to bend over a loom for extended periods.
