Embroidering with kichwas Warmis
✨ Threads of Tradition: Embroidering with Kichwas Warmis Tour (4–5 hours)
Discover the heart of Andean culture through the Embroidering with Kichwas Warmis tour—an unforgettable hands-on experience led by Martha Tuquerres, a talented designer and visionary entrepreneur. As the founder of the Alli Maki embroidery collective, Martha leads a group of five inspiring mothers who handcraft beautiful pieces of traditional embroidery. Their work not only preserves ancestral knowledge but also empowers women heads of households through art and sustainable tourism.
Your journey begins with a warm welcome from Martha and the women of Alli Maki. They will introduce you to the traditional techniques of Kichwa embroidery, where every stitch has a story. Through the tour, you’ll learn the basics—types of stitches, common motifs, and the symbolic meanings woven into each design. 🌿
Then, the real magic begins. With gentle guidance from your artisan mentors, you’ll create your own design, sketch it out, and embroider it by hand onto a piece of fabric. This is more than just a craft; it’s a peaceful, mindful journey into culture and creativity. 🧵✨
To wrap up the Embroidering with Kichwas Warmis experience, you’ll make a personalized bracelet with your name, a small keepsake filled with heart, heritage, and connection. It’s a soulful souvenir from a day where tradition comes alive in your hands.
By joining the Embroidering with Kichwas Warmis tour, you’re not only learning a new skill—you’re supporting a community, celebrating female artistry, and becoming part of a living legacy.
In this experience, you’ll discover local techniques, meaningful symbols, and the powerful stories behind each stitch—guided by women preserving their Kichwa heritage with pride.
🌺 Reserve your place today and thread your own story into the vibrant fabric of Kichwa culture!
