Over a century ago...
as missionaries trekked the trails of the Cordillera Region in Northern Philippines, they were charmed with the beauty of the land. Rivers that curved gently through the forest, mountain upon which rice fields and vegetable gardens have been carved - everything seemed so beautiful, yet intrigued by the sounds of the beating of the gongs and the twittering of the birds which punctuated the crisp serenity of the mountain villages. Little did they know that a traditional way of life which soon fascinated them, would, in a few decades, capture the fondness and hearts of the world – HAND WEAVING!
Easter Weaving was established through these missionaries who have seen the innate talent of the Cordillera women, the mastery of the art of weaving.
From this little room where weaving classes were held to preserve weaving as a traditional art emerged placemats, table napkins, tablecloths, and the like which became the most perfect gifts for missionary, military, and business friends and families across seas. The usual native designs, the intricate handwork, and the tested quality truly reflective of the practical and enduring character of the mountain people eventually catapulted the unsuspecting source, “the Easter School Weaving Room”, to a prominence that remained unsurpassed for generations. “Quality Handwoven Products” was the byword.
World War II did not deter the classes and the production of these much sought-after home products. From a ball of thread which was salvaged from the ruins of the war, classes for the girls were restarted and the weaving room was re-established. The increasing demand for the reputable products, however, soon necessitated the establishment of the industry.
The room is now a humble 3-storey building and now under construction to add more 2 floors designed to house several upright looms and back-strap looms manned by women who have developed expert knowledge and mastery of the techniques, materials, and designs of Cordillera weaving. Countless tourists and visitors continue to patronize the Weaving Room, and they are constantly mesmerized by the intertwining of rainbow-arrayed threads. They are amazed as Igorot hands daintily and expertly play along with these thread to produce the products that have made the Easter Weaving Room internationally renowned. Having a firsthand view and idea of the weaving process truly enhances each visitor’s appreciation and awe for this native art and skill.
In response to requests and demands over the recent years, the Easter Weaving Room also offers a wide array of other handicrafts which include woodcarvings, rattan and paper baskets or bags, shell and coconut decors, local oil paintings, Ilokano hand weaving, as well as some local food delicacies.
The growth and influence of the Easter Weaving Room remains evident in homes not only in the Philippines but also countries all though out the world – United States, Japan, Guam, Italy, China, Saudi Arabia, Germany and others.
Yes, the Easter Weaving Room and quality Cordillera Weaving will continue to remain synonymous in response to the needs and preferences of its patrons and the weaving tradition shall be preserved and sustained for generations.
