Miriam Celis Hernández is 59 years old and was born in a hamlet of Sayamud in
the San Miguel de Pallaques province, Cajamarca, in the highlands in northern
Peru. She
is considered a master for her skill and knowledge of textile techniques. She
learned to spin sheep’s wool and knit sashes at just nine years old, and makes
a living by weaving using a backstrap loom. She has worked with us for 10
years, offering training others the art of fine weaving using this ancient
tool.
