About our Artist: 'I'm Marco Bautista from Oaxaca and I weave wool textiles on a traditional Zapotec loom. Zapotec weaving is an art that's been passed down from generation to generation. I learned from my parents, who learned from their parents who, in turn, learned from their own parents.

Weaving became a big part of me because it helped pay for my education and I'm very proud to have learned this art from my parents.
