More than 60 Navajo weavers are expected to gather to show and sell their textiles on Saturday, November 7 at the Gathering of Weavers: Navajo Weavers Marketplace at the Heard Museum. The event takes place in the enchanting Central Courtyard from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Book signings, a film, lectures and demonstrations are all part of this second annual event.
Looks like a good resource for all types of weaving information!
Save the date.
Post-Gathering Update
The trip to the Gathering of Weavers was great and eye-opening. So much talent among all the weavers who were from different parts of the Navajo Nation. Every weaver had a different style/technique to share and it was a great education for all of us. Some did traditional types of weaving and patterns and others were more contemporary. One person even demonstrated dyeing techniques. All in all, it was a great field trip and hope they have it again next year!
