I am learning this year is an important year for Navajo weaving.  Convergence 2010: Ancient Paths is taking place July 18-25, 2010 in Albuquerque, NM.  I am part of the team that will be teaching Navajo Weaving Boot Camp with Jennie Slick, Rose Dedman and Mary Walker.  I am excited to be part of this wonderful team of weavers!!

In many Navajo weaving classes, the amount of time devoted to teach weavers Navajo weaving is not enough to go through all of the steps of traditional Navajo weaving.  Many students have been introduced to an abbreviated version of Navajo weaving.  I have been weaving professionally for about 10 years and I want to offer you an authentic Navajo weaving experience.  Yes, I want to share with you the hard work of warping on a warping frame you sit in, looking for plant dyes, gathering firewood for dyeing, handspinning raw wool, Navajo plying your yarn, and finishing a rug to the very last weft yarn thread.  I want to offer you a weaving education that will transform your way of thinking about Navajo weaving and the Dine’ world. A portal into the Dine’ world and Navajo weaving awaits you.

Please contact me if you have any questions about this experience I have to offer you.
