Bio:

Timoteo Ccarita Sacaca is a master weaver, natural dyes researcher, and weaving teacher from the district of Pitumarca, Cusco, Peru. He uses natural dyes and alpaca wool, a continuation of traditional practices that reach back generations. He hand-spins alpaca fiber to create yarn, then weaves using handlooms. His traditional designs are inspired by Incan messages, symbols, and ideals. The traditional weavings in Pitumarca have maintained original designs and symbolism for thousands of years. Symbols are profound mysteries embodied ethnographically in each ancestral textile. He is one of a few known weavers who keeps the ancient art of tapestry from Inca nobles.
