Mexico Weavers' Project
Supporting Local Women


My textiles are made by the hands of women: housewives, wives, mothers, who work without having to leave their homes, which is especially important for them as they all have young children.

Weaving, in all its forms and styles, is a meditative art, ordering thoughts and emotions, generating new understanding that materialize little by little.

The love of work done through our hands with noble materials, such as wool and cotton, transmits its power, transforming the useful things we make, things beautiful in their simplicity.

Our trade, material and workforce, is local. Our wool is 100% natural, from the region of San Miguel de Allende. We collaborate to maintain the long-standing weaving tradition in our locality.

Through their work, the women who make up my small team of weavers, recover the value of the ancestral, reconnecting with ancient knowledge. The work also brings the concrete value of a well-paid livelihood.

Proyecto de Tejedores de México
Apoyando a las Mujeres Locales


Mis textiles están hechos por manos de mujeres: amas de casa, esposas, madres, que trabajan sin tener que salir de casa, lo cual es especialmente importante para ellas porque todas tienen hijos pequeños.

Tejer, en todas sus formas y estilos, es un arte meditativo, ordenando pensamientos y emociones, generando nuevos conocimientos que se materializan poco a poco.

El amor por el trabajo realizado a través de nuestras manos con materiales nobles, como la lana y el algodón, transmite su poder, transformando las cosas útiles que hacemos, las cosas bellas en su sencillez. Nuestro oficio, material y mano de obra, es local. Nuestra lana es 100% natural, de la región de San Miguel de Allende. Colaboramos para mantener la tradición del tejido de larga data en nuestra localidad.

A través de su trabajo, las mujeres que integran mi pequeño equipo de tejedoras, recuperan el valor de lo ancestral, reconectándose con conocimientos ancestrales. El trabajo también aporta el valor concreto de un sustento bien remunerado.

Poetry Café Bellas Artes

By Maia Williams

Poetry Café Bellas Artes will feature three dynamic and prolific San Miguel poets on Thursday, September 22: Tim Hazell, Sallie Kravetz, and Rick Roberts.

Tim Hazell is the author of four books published by the Texas Heritage Music Foundation (www.texasheritagemusic.org). He will read from the two most recently published: A Symbolist Bouquet (poetry and paintings), and Poets Breathing Life - A Glimpse into the Mysteries of Poetry and Poets (articles, essays and recipes).
Tim’s poetry and paintings have appeared in West Coast Review - a Literary Quarterly, Waves, The Antigonish Review, Queen’s Quarterly, Event, Descant, Toronto Life Magazine, The Canadian Forum, CVII, Canadian Author and Bookman, Southloop Review and other literary periodicals. He has published more than 200 articles featuring poetry, music, aesthetics and native cultures with a focus on Latin America, and he writes “Cultural Perspectives,” a weekly column published by Atención San Miguel.
When Sallie Kravetz “graduated” from elementary school, in her autograph book her teacher wrote: "To Sallie...author, artist, poet." Those words were to frame her passion and pursuits throughout the rest of her life.
As a high school library/media specialist she wrote and produced a variety of multi-media presentations. In the Baltimore arts community, she penned columns on trending arts issues and authored Ethel Ennis: The Reluctant Jazz Star, a biography of the Baltimore jazz legend. More recently, she designed and authored a small photography book, Streetwalk: Mexico City. She is an active member of a growing poetry community fueled by the magic alchemy of the inimitable Judyth Hill.
These days, Sallie fulfills her lifelong journey as author, artist, and poet through the creation of books of images and short poems focused on recent travels.

When asked for a brief biographical sketch, Rick Roberts replies, “He began writing late in the day, and finding no other way to the other side of himself, will, with luck, continue writing till his day is done.” When asked for a bit more information he responds, “Everyone is a storyteller, only some of us write our stories down. There is an old philosophical conundrum: ‘Is it the singer or the song?’ Many say it is both, but for me it is the song which must endure. We are only the caretakers of the songs and stories that live on the breeze. We have only to get out of our own way to hear them.”

Poetry Café Bellas Artes meets monthly (September - April) to feature local and visiting poets (established and emerging) sharing original work in a casual setting.
Please arrive a few minutes early. Seating is first come, first seated. Depending on the season, cold or hot beverages will be available
