Guatemalan Arts & Crafts and AtitlanArts.com, Oxford, NC
We sell beautiful handmade beadwork, weaving and embroidery from the Panajachel, Lake Atitlan area in Guatemala. We raise money for a variety of Guatemalan programs, including Life School and AUYDA: help for street dogs and cats in Panajachel. We help provide Onil stoves, clean water, and medical and dental programs for the families and artisans we work with. See more about Life School, a nonprofit bilingual pre-K through 9th grade school at LifeSchoolweb.com.
We are based in Oxford, North Carolina and Duke University, Durham NC and live in Panajachel part-time. Photo is of Catherine Todd (right), business owner, and Rosario Ratzan Tiney, (artist/designer) who works with a 50 person beading co-op at Lake Atitlan.
