I'm Debora Rosental, founder of Aieka Hand Woven Elements.

The weaver's world is amazing -- it connects people from around the globe and from different cultures. Every culture has roots in the fiber arts.Weaving is an ancient art that the Aieka Hand Woven Elements project seeks to preserve.

I believe that a hand woven product has personality, strength, sensibility, warmth, audacity, and uniqueness. Weaving is a form of self expression.

With my work I intend to transmit audacity, authenticity, joy, and peace. I create my pieces to be enjoyed as much as I enjoy the process of making them.

When I start a project I plan ahead but always leave space for changes, for improvisation, is one of the most creative moments! The rigid heddle looms I use for my work are the perfect fit for me, giving me the freedom to make changes along the process of weaving.

Something that is truly important for me is to never stop learning, experimenting, I want to reflect that constant change in my work. 

In natural dyeing I use everyday products like avocados, black beans, red onions skins,and yerba mate.The last one is special for me as an Argentinian because the mate is our traditional beverage and the smell of it brings me many beloved memories!
