AFEDES ordered five foot looms to be built by a local carpenter, who completed them this past November. They sent one of the foot looms to the community of Santo Domingo Xenacoj where a group of six indigenous women were ready to start learning foot loom weaving. This group had their first two-day workshop on foot loom weaving on November 23 to 24. The trainer of this group is one of AFEDES’ members living in Santo Domingo, who took a special course to teach foot loom weaving to beginners.
AFEDES is currently organizing another group of 6 women from the community of San Antonio Aguascalientes to start their first workshops in early December.
