Visit the Workshop
The most meaningful way to understand a Teotitlán rug is to experience where and how it is made.
Visit Isaac Vásquez Studio, meet the family behind the textiles and discover how wool, natural color and generations of knowledge come together on the traditional pedal loom.
Visits are available by advance appointment only.
Experience a Living Weaving Tradition
Inside the workshop, visitors can experience the scale and movement of the traditional pedal loom, feel the texture of hand-prepared wool and learn how natural materials become color.
You will also have the opportunity to meet members of the Vásquez family and learn how their weaving knowledge has been passed from one generation to the next.
Every visit offers a closer understanding of the time, skill and cultural knowledge carried within each textile.
See how the weaver uses both hands and feet to transform individual wool threads into a finished textile.
Learn how wool is prepared and how materials such as cochineal, indigo, marigold and walnut create distinctive colors.
Meet the family continuing the weaving and natural-dye legacy of Maestro Isaac Vásquez García.
View finished rugs and textiles created inside the family workshop and learn the story behind individual pieces.
