Two of MayaWorks' weaving partner groups come together to create this beautiful matzah box. The fabric is woven by 8 women in the hamlet of Agua Caliente in Comalapa, located in the central highlands of Guatemala. Using expert weaving techniques, Agua Caliente artisans handweave the fabric on a treadle foot loom. The sewing and final construction is handcrafted by the Chixot artisans, a group of 11 men and women who are experts in complicated construction pieces. The artisans are paid a fair wage for their work and receive other benefits such as literacy classes and technical skills trainings.
