How beautiful is this! Looks like a fairly easy and self explanatory craft right! 😅
Love the closeups and music in this one 🎥 🫀
Yea we wish! She was such a good teacher. The close up of María’s hands specifically were our favorite. Glad you liked it!
Beautiful work too!
Maria made it look so easy!!!
Love this! So interesting
Thank you so much!!! Maybe once the little one is older we could all go down and learn in Guatemala for a week or two.
Very cool video, and you guys are so right, learning these old time honored skills is so very important, I myself am a prolific hand quilter, and I’m seeing less and less of people wanting to learn these beautiful traditions. Thank you again I really enjoyed watching 👍
Absolutely we agree! So happy you enjoyed it
Hello Cassie/Nate,
This was such a great video!! Thank for sharing this experience!
I couldn’t wait to see if you’d share the contact info in this video - but there’s no ph#.
❓ Would it be possible for you to post it - even on Instagram?
That be an awesome experience to book, I’ll be traveling to Guatemala in January 2025. Thank you!! Hope you’re all having fun!!
Hi Sonia, absolutely! They were such a wonderful company and experience all around and we would recommend them 100 %.
I am looking through my whatsapp and I think this is the correct website/company that we booked it through (it was a Spanish school in San Pedro): sanpedrospanishschool.com/
But I am also in contact with Ofelia who is the person we were in direct contact with to book the experience and I just texted her to confirm that. Here is her whatsapp number: +502 5943 8176
Okay I just heard from Ofelia. The company we booked with is called the Maya Atitlán Spanish School and here is the link (FB page) to find their info! facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083395484130
Stop the cultural appropriation
Please elaborate on how this is cultural appropriation when we were taking a class, and learning in a respectful manner from a local person who was offering.
