BARCO is a collective of dedicated women artisans in the village of San Lucas Toliman, Guatemala. An innate passion for sustaining traditional craft is a running thread in their daily ritual of weaving. Through practices of natural hand-dyeing and experimental weaving patterns, BARCO is a true realization of the natural relationship between intuition and creativity.
