Hand weaving is a craft activity and a form of artistic expression that has almost completely disappeared in the course of industrialization. In Valposchiavo, this technique still survives and seeks a balance between the preservation of traditional cultural heritage and the new needs of customers.
Description
Thanks to the use of precious natural raw materials such as silk, cotton, linen and hemp, the knowledge and technical know-how of a living tradition are constantly renewed.
Tessitura Valposchiavo was founded as a cooperative in 1955 to counter the emigration of the young population and to preserve a tradition that was in danger of disappearing from everyday life. Even today, it offers those interested in weaving the opportunity to complete an apprenticeship and receive the Federal Apprenticeship Diploma. Tessitura specializes in high quality products for a niche market. Thanks to the growing awareness of the value of craftsmanship that has developed among the population in recent years, weaving contributes to the positive image of the region, also in terms of tourism.
