Balay ni Atong

Balay ni Atong showcases hand  woven  textiles  done  on  traditional  wooden  looms by Ilocano  artisans  using  weaving  techniques   passed  on  through  generations. Woven patterns on the fabric are based on designs of antique blankets and   clothing   materials dating  from  the  1800’s  to  the mid  1900’s.  Although the  reproduced  to  contemporary textiles carry the traditional designs, they are made younger by using colors, scales and some technology of today.

Together with our new  bigger community of Ilocano  weavers, Balay ni Atong  invite you  to join us in exploring the amazing journey of the Ilocano weaving tradition. The spirit of Abel lives on!
