Alpaca wool cloak, ‘Silver Skies’ Overviews

NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. Bands of stylized butterflies flit across silvery gray clouds. Working in luxurious alpaca wool, Faustino Maldonado creates a cloak with Andean motifs. Based on the traditional poncho, the warm but lightweight garment is woven on the handloom. Buttons crafted from dried mate gourds secure each side. Artisan Info: Faustino Maldonado’s artistry has been featured in Sunset magazine. Faustino Maldonado was born in Hualhuas. Because his parents and grandparents were artisans, he learned at an eary 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.” Based on this family philosophy, Maldonado and his relatives have been making large bedspreads in high relief without any stitching. They also proudly craft sheep wool and alpaca tapestries, purses, backpacks, cushions, and vests. The Maldonado family’s works have become increasingly popular.
