Nemesio & Florencia

Nemesio Martinez and his wife, Florencia, make intricate, large rugs. Side by side at the loom, they weave their rugs in tandem, keeping perfect time with one another. They have started to teach Zapotec language and weaving to young children in their community and are teaching their son Isaak on a loom that is just his size. Check out our EDUCATE page to learn more about their work and how you can support. Nemesio and Florencia recently built a new larger loom to make even larger rugs. Nemesio also works as a pastor in Santa Ana.
