traditional Navajo weaving class (finalized)
I finalized my offering of a traditional Navajo weaving class. Here are the details.
WHEN: Oct. 25 to 29, 2010 (5 days)
WHERE: Quality Inn Navajo Nation, Window Rock, AZ
COSTS: Students will be responsible for their own room reservations (about $82/night incl tax for single occupancy, about $93/night tax included for double occupancy). Here’s the cost for the class for 5 days: $650 includes use of my handmade Navajo looms (available for purchase) plus cost of wool and basic weaving tools.
I am limiting the class to 10 students. I will be the only instructor so you will receive all of my attention.
We will be spending time learning techniques for warping, making edging cords, selecting warp types, weaving, use of Navajo spindle, and how we Navajos treat our yarns and weaving space. It will be part art class and Navajo culture, but it’s just weaving in Navajo thought. It will definitely be stimulating and you will learn traditional Navajo weaving.
If you are interested in this class, please click on the PayPal link to pay a deposit of $300 to hold a spot in this class. The deadline for the deposit is July 30, 2010 due to availability of facilities at the Quality Inn in Window Rock.
Please contact me if you have any questions. If I do not have 10 students signed up for this class by June 30, I will cancel the class and refund deposits.
