Book excerpt: This thesis investigated the role of traditional textiles within the Bolivian culture in the early twenty-first century. Creating traditional textiles is an important aspect of Bolivian life. Women are able to spin, dye, and weave to create a textile. These textiles can be sold and have been an assurance that women would always be able to make money. An ethnographic study was conducted in Independencia, Bolivia, in order to observe and research the steps in the making of a textile within the context of the culture. The steps included shearing the sheep, cleaning the fleece, spinning the fleece on a drop spindle, dyeing the yarn with natural dyes, weaving the yarn, and sewing the woven fabric into an end product. These labor-intensive steps were learned by initially observing and then actively participating. Since February, 2010, there have been quite a few changes due to outside influences. These changes mean that textile traditions are not being passed down. Today the mothers are not teaching their daughters these steps because the daughters are away at school. Within the community, the traditional dynamic has been altered. Men are forced to travel for work; the children are away at school; and the women are in the home juggling many roles, including maintaining the home, taking care of the animals, and weaving in order to acquire physical money to pay for school supplies.

Download or read book Weaving a Future written by Elayne Zorn and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The people of Taquile Island on the Peruvian side of beautiful Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the Americas, are renowned for the hand-woven textiles that they both wear and sell to outsiders. One thousand seven hundred Quechua-speaking peasant farmers, who depend on potatoes and the fish from the lake, host the forty thousand tourists who visit their island each year. Yet only twenty-five years ago, few tourists had even heard of Taquile. In Weaving a Future: Tourism, Cloth, and Culture on an Andean Island, Elayne Zorn documents the remarkable transformation of the isolated rock.

Download or read book Weaving and Dyeing in Highland Ecuador written by Ann Pollard Rowe and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2009-03-06 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although less well known than its much-admired counterparts in Peru and Bolivia, highland Ecuadorian weaving is an Andean tradition that has relationships with these more southern areas. A world away from the industrialized textile manufacturing of Euro-American society, these handmade pieces reflect the history and artistry of an ancient culture. This comprehensive study, edited by Ann Pollard Rowe, is unrivaled in its detail and includes not only descriptions of the indigenous weaving and dyeing technology, but also an interpretation of its historical significance, as well as hundreds of photographs, drawings, and maps that inform the understanding of the process. The principal focus is on backstrap-loom weaving, a major pre-Hispanic technology. Ecuadorian backstrap looms, which differ in various ways from those found elsewhere in the Andes, have previously only been treated in general terms. Here, the basic operation of this style of loom is covered, as are a variety of patterning techniques including warp-resist (ikat) dyeing, weaving belts with twill, and supplementary- and complementary-warp patterning. Spanish colonial treadle-loom weaving is also covered. The weaving techniques are explained in detail, so the reader can replicate them if desired. Textiles have been an important art form among Andean peoples from remote prehistory up to the present. A greater understanding of their creation process can yield a more meaningful appreciation of the art itself.
