Ancestral
A course by Ancestral
Ancestral is a brand that was founded in 2015 by Colombian textile artist Erika Pineda, who seeks to revive, expand, and consolidate textile art in a contemporary urban context. To achieve this, Ancestral works in two areas: creating hand-made artistic textile pieces, as well as teaching their own technique in workshops to share with others how they can bring their own ideas to life.
The work created by Ancestral is full of intricate details and are individually made so that the result of each piece is unique. This has led them to a presence in several stores in Colombia, as well as collaborating with brands such as American Eagle, Egeo (restaurant in the Click Clack hotel in Colombia), Azul selva, and the El Tesoro shopping mall in Medellin.
