Order Form for Weavings from Tsobol Antzetik (Women United), a weaving cooperative from San Pedro Chenalhó, Chiapas, Mexico
The weavings in this catalog are made by women in Tsobol Antzetik (Women United), a weaving cooperative from San Pedro Chenalhó, a township in the highlands of Chiapas. Tsobol Antzetik is a group of about 30 Tzotzil-speaking Maya women and their children who live in several neighboring communities. The group’s members also belong to two organizations seeking peace with justice –the Zapatista movement and Las Abejas (The Bees), a Catholic social justice group. Together the women are trying to create economies of solidarity and cooperation, alternatives to the economic system of competition that globalization promotes.
This catalog of weavings features 113 products that the weavers of Tsobol Antzetik have made over the past 20 years. Unless otherwise specified, all products are woven on a back-strap loom with a brocade technique in which designs and the background cloth evolve as a piece. Most weavings are made with commercially purchased cotton threads that look like embroidery floss. A few products are made with woolen threads dyed from plants.
When ordering women’s blouses please indicate the size: small (22 inches wide by 26 inches long); medium (29x29); and large (35x 35). For an extra large or long blouse add $10.00. When ordering girl’s blouses please give the age and approximate size of the child (e.g. small 8 year old). Measurements for other weavings are approximate.
Please send prepayment for your order so that the weavers will have cash to purchase threads as well as food and other necessities. Make checks payable to Tsobol Antzetik and mail along with this form to: Las Cruces Chiapas Connection, c/o Christine Eber, P.O. Box 373, Radium Springs, NM 88054. Las Cruces Chiapas Connection is a volunteer group in Southern New Mexico that assists Tsobol Antzetik to sell its weavings through fair trade. Weavers receive 85-90% of the price of each weaving. The rest of your payment helps LCCC in its work with the weavers. Contact Melissa Copeland – deserthealer@ - to receive an electronic version of this catalog to pass along to others. For additional assistance contact Christine Eber at 505 647-5280. Please note that orders cannot be placed by email, only by regular mail.
Orders are grouped and sent on the last day of each month. Please allow approximately 6-7 weeks for delivery to your home. Only orders received before September 30th are guaranteed to arrive in time for holiday gift-giving. We will bill you for postage to ship to your home or arrange to deliver it to you if you live in the Las Cruces area. In most cases weavings include a tag with a photo & biography of the weaver and a card with a brief background on weaving in Chiapas. Weavings with toad, cosmogram, bee or woman symbol come with a description of the symbol.
