CREADORES ARTESANOS

Jose Alvaro, Artisan creator of pedal loom

José Álvaro created a family business, where they work as a team to generate employment and so that young people can have a profession, a future and a legacy.

His workshop represents professionalism, soul, legacy and inclusion. He shares his knowledge so that this craft does not end up disappearing.

Napkins, bedspreads, tablecloths… pieces that are, in principle, simple, but thanks to their hands and the soul they put into their workshop, become something unique and beautiful.

"With every piece of textile we make, a part of our soul goes away"

Jose Alvaro

así elabora las piezas

Lo que empezó siendo un juego de niña, es lo que ahora le da de comer.

In Álvaro's workshop, they select the cotton that has been previously dyed naturally and with which they will weave the future pieces that they will create on the pedal loom.

To start weaving on the pedal loom, you must first prepare it by hand threading the warp and weft with the cotton skeins.

The pedal loom allows you to create different patterns and drawings on the fabric, which reflect the soul and know-how of the artisan.

Once the piece is woven, it is finished with seams, tassels or hand-knotted finishes.
