The miyuki weaving technique
The weaving process begins with the creative idea of the shape and colors to be used Then in a delicate and patient way, each accessory begins to be woven with beads and thread or wire according to the desired technique. Each piece takes a certain time for its elaboration according to the size. The small ones can take a couple of hours and the larger ones take up to 4 hours to make, since each piece is woven by hand. With these techniques we can make: earrings, anklets, necklaces and bracelets
Hi! I'm Sara Escobar
I'm from Colombia, a newcomer in Canada, I am a Social worker by profession,
this have given me the opportunity to travel around Colombia and learn from different
Colombian indigenous communities.
It was during this time that I learned this weaving technique called Miyuki, that captivated me and quickly became a big part of my life.
Initially it was a peaceful moment for me like some sort of meditation. It taught me a lot about myself and inspired me to use this craft to express my ideas
and empower other women with these beautiful accessories.
