This course will follow the format of Sheri Brautigam’s guidebook, Textile Fiestas of Mexico, that explores the most popular celebrations and artisan fairs in the Mexican states of Michoacan, Oaxaca, and Chiapas. The course will introduce students to traditional textiles still produced by skilled artisans, textiles that are important indicators of their indigenous identities. The instructor visited these fairs over a five-year period. With her guidance and countless images of places, people, and textiles, the student will experience the culture, dances, ceremonies, and markets of these beautiful celebrations. Let’s GO!!

 

Brautigam, Sheri

Sheri Brautigam (MA, Teaching Language) began her adult education studying Latin American History in Mexico City, where her passion for Mexican culture and textiles began. Sheri had a textile design studio in San Francisco for 20 years and taught marketing and design to other textile artists. After moving to New Mexico 30 years ago, Sheri embraced interests in travel and collecting and taught English as a Second Language for Adults at SFCC. She received an English Language Fellowship with the US State Department and trained Mexican English teacher in Central Mexico. During this four-year period, she rediscovered traditional Mexican textiles.
