She weaves the cotton bedspread on a traditional pedal loom and finishes it by hand knotting tassels on the borders.

About our Artist: ‘Born in the weaving village of Teotitlan del Valle, I specialize in creating accessories on the traditional loom. My parents taught me how to weave when I was 15 years old, and the first piece I worked on was a rebozo shawl, which I gave to my mom as a Mother’s Day gift,’ Carmen Ruiz recounts. ‘I’ve been weaving since the 1980’s, and in 2002 I started my own workshop where I specialize in shawls and bedspreads. The most challenging aspect of starting on my own was having a place where I could exhibit my creations.’
