The International community has recognized Pedro Montaño for his perfectionist skills. Sheep wool and natural fibers are the materials that he uses for his rugs. Motaño uses ancient techniques, mainly in the dyeing of wool with natural dyes, such as plants, roots, mosses, barks and husks of fruits and trees and mainly indigo paste and the cochineal grana. These same techniques have been used in the making of rugs since prehispanic times.
Traditional Mexican textiles are a vibrant expression of Indigenous culture, history, and craftsmanship. Handwoven on backstrap or pedal looms, these textiles often feature intricate patterns, natural dyes, and symbolic designs that reflect the traditions of each region and community. Commonly used to create clothing, table runners, rugs, and decorative pieces, every textile is unique and can take weeks or even months to complete. The art of weaving has been passed down through generations, preserving techniques and cultural stories that remain an important part of Mexican heritage today.
