Faustino Maldonado was born in Hualhuas. Because his parents and grandparents were artisans, he learned at an early age to weave on rustic looms, to prepare the warp using the pushca, and spin on the rueca. Maldonado's work is a representation of the art that has been passed down from generation to generation within his family. The family motto has been, I will never let go of either my grandfather or grandson's hands, for what I have learned from the elders, I will teach to the young. What is Worldstock?
