This workshop is not suitable for beginners. Students will need to bring a pre-warped loom, weft, and weaving tools. Students can purchase “A Chimayo Weaving Guidebook” online before class for supplementary learning material if desired. Go to A Chimayo Weavers Guidebook – chimayoweavers. Maximum class size is 12.
About the Instructor: Emily Trujillo is an eighth generation Rio Grande weaver from Chimayo, New Mexico, who specializes in the techniques and logic of Chimayo weaving. Her parents and mentors are award winning weavers Irvin and Lisa Trujillo who started teaching her when she was only five. While her technique and design training is very traditional, she blends her love for music, media, and her modern experiences into her one-of-a-kind pieces to express who she is. She currently teaches six Chimayo weaving programs, lectures on history, and creates programs for preservation both in and out of New Mexico. All of her work is an effort to preserve her family’s dying 400 year old family weaving tradition.
