Alex Martinez Returns: New Weavings from Oaxaca: July 9th & 10th 2026
Product Description
Alex Martinez is back and he is bringing something new.
This master Oaxacan weaver returns to Cowgirl Yarn on July 9th and 10th with a fresh collection of traditional and contemporary Zapotec weavings, crafted by Alex and his family. New designs. New colorways. The same extraordinary skill that has made every visit unforgettable.
Nancy Martinez joins him again this year with her stunning handwoven purses a highlight not to be missed.
