Working hand in hand with women weavers in a small village located on the shores of Lake Atitlan, Guatemala, Behind the Hill celebrates South American culture and craft by partnering with local artisans who embrace ancestral weaving techniques. The women grow the raw materials right in their own environment—the cotton is kept in its natural state, undyed or dyed using natural indigo. Each individual piece takes about three weeks to create, and lasts for a lifetime as a throw or bed blanket.
