The textile tradition of highland Bolivia is a rich and highly developed art with roots reaching back to pre-Colombian times. Yet this remarkable tradition has gone largely unrecognized outside of the Bolivian rural regions where weaving is still the most important form of creative expression. Here in this book you will discover the handmade fibers which are spun, dyed, woven, and formed into sensual, tactle, aesthetic and exquisite wearable objects.
