Comprometidos con la Sostenibilidad

Craftspeople from Santiago Texacuangos have managed to
reactivate the double heddle loom; in addition they adapted it
for portable use in Tejiendo Esperanza (Weaving hope), Santiago
Texacuangos, and Olas de Esperanzas (Waves of hope), in the La
Libertad port. Based on the original traditional loom design, they
created models of smaller size that allow weavers to create, from
home, their jewelry or clothing. This is also an innovation, since
traditionally only men used looms.
The recovery of tradition for the technical rescue and support of
innovation has created production chains in which the craftsmen
preserve memory and protect the environmental future while they
work under more fair schedules and wages.
Each woman and each man involved in these projects generate
a greater entrance than the national minimum wage, a new
experience in relation to craftmanship.
Tejiendo Esperanzas has combined the use of cotton thread
with copper thread, discarded from coils of electricity measurers
provided by the Delsur Electricity Company. This innovation in
materials follows the rules of sustainable development, as a form to
protect environment from pollution caused by copper. The reused
thread has given great beauty to the experience of weaving and
transforms handicrafts into unique and precious objects, all of
them designed by Lula Mena.
