The Center supports and promotes young weaver groups who are doing superior studies in Cusco city, to continue to weave. These young weavers are the children of the weaver’s in the ten associations that CTTC works with. Many of these students require opportunities to create income for their needs. Also, they are master weavers who could share their skills in the administration work in the main office of CTTC in Cusco City.
CTTC is dedicated to the recovery and revitalization of ancestral textile techniques and traditions.The knowledge of ancestral textiles is an art inherited through several generations. A child learns textile practices from parents, grandparents and even great-grandparents. Providing motivation to continue to cherish these practices as he or she grows and ensuring a higher and sustainable quality of life through these practices is essential.
You can also empower and support traditional weavers through donations, purchases, and ethical tourism. Let´s keep the sustainable practice of ancestral textiles alive.
