In the heart of Teotitlán del Valle, Oaxaca, Taller Galería Isaac Jr. stands as a beacon of tradition, where Arnulfo Gutiérrez Méndez, Línea Gutiérrez, Graciela Martínez López, and Isaac Vásquez Gutiérrez work together to preserve the ancestral art of Zapotec weaving. Their process begins with Graciela, who carefully selects and prepares raw wool and silk, including the delicate fibers sourced from locally raised silkworms. Arnulfo ensures the fibers are properly carded, aligning them into smooth strands ready for dyeing, setting the stage for the intricate textiles they will create.
