Featured Artist: Jose Reanda

From the Guatemalan village of Santiago Atitlan, comes master beadweaver Jose Reanda. Jose comes from a family rich in talent, history and Mayan culture. Taught to weave by his mother, Jose is now world renowned, particularly for his beautiful beaded animals. His subjects include insects, birds, frogs, fish, dragons, and more

 
Bead weaving provides Jose with the means to support his family, and he also teaches others to weave so they can generate their own income.  You can support Jose by shopping at Mayan Majix where there is a large selection of his work, each piece being one of a kind.
