Free Admission, 90 artists with quality handmade items. 
Homemade soups and goodies in the cafeteria, cookie harvest. 

We will be located between the two buildings, outside, with a large selection of the textiles from Taquile Island, Lake Titicaca, where we are godparents and in deep relationship with extended family since our first visit 27 years ago. For more of the story see our Amigos de Taquile blog at http://taquilefriends.blogspot.com

We have been trading solar gear and efficient lights in exchange for beautiful weavings and knitted goods. We will bring a large selection of knitted hats and scarves, gloves and vests, as well as weavings in the complex patterned technique for which Taquile women are famous. We will also bring a sampling of our pottery.
