Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – On February 15, the Puerto Vallarta Garden Club will have a membership presentation featuring Kevin Simpson, an authority on Mexican Folk Art, who will speak about the natural dyes used in traditional Zapotec weaving.
Join us online, or in person at Incanto, for our membership presentation on February 15 at 3:30 CST (Please be fully vaccinated and wear your mask at Incanto).
Natural Dyes Used in Traditional Zapotec Weaving
We are delighted to have Kevin Simpson returning as a presenter. Kevin graduated from the University of Western Ontario in 1994 with an honors degree in political science. In 1995 he moved to Puerto Vallarta where he befriended a Huichol elder and ended up opening a small gallery called Peyote People.
After traveling around Mexico for several years, Kevin together with his wife Beatriz, opened the amazing Gallery Colectika that specializes in ancestral contemporary Mexican Folk Art.
He has published several articles on Mexican native art for the magazine First American Art, including one on natural dyes used in traditional Zapotec weaving.
