Artisan Story:
Faustino Maldonado was born in Hualhuas. Because his parents and grandparents were artisans, he learned at an early age to weave on rustic looms, to prepare the warp using the pushca, and spin on the rueca. Since he first started weaving, Maldonado has mastered the art and has immensely improved the quality of his textiles. Maldonado's work is a representation of the art that has been passed down from generation to generation within his family. The family motto has been, "I will never let go of either my grandfather or grandson's hands, for what I have learned from the elders, I will teach to the young."

It is the softest wool blanket i have ever had and love how it adds color and brings all the woodwork in my bedroom together. I think it is worth the value.

I have become familiar with the intricate Native Southwestern weavings but had not seen work from Peru. The beauty and top quality of Faustino Maldonado
equals as a treasure in my home. I am very pleased to be a part of Worldstock and embrace the cooperative efforts Novica promotes. An art piece for sure!
