Learn the basics of weaving in the Navajo way or gain more experience  with master weaver Jennie Slick and her assistant, Mary Walker   This three day boot camp workshop is taught in a beautiful setting at the Utah State University Training facility on the shores of  Bear Lake, near the borders of Utah and Idaho.   The workshop begins on the evening of June 21 and continues until the afternoon of the 24th.  Tuition of $310 includes all weaving supplies except the loom, handouts, lodging for three nights and four days and meals, drinks and snacks, including extremely large amounts of raspberry jam made from actual raspberries.   Small Navajo looms are available for purchase or build your own with free plans that we’ll send you.  A $50 non-refundable registration fee is required to hold a spot in the boot camp.  You can register for the class at the Weaving in Beauty Mercantile.

For more information or to register, contact Deby Pendleton or Mary Walker.   Nine places are currently open in the workshop.

    Raymon: I have a blanket simialr to the pink blanket. My dad's family had sheep. Every year they would gather the wool and take it to Utah Woolen mills and make beautiful wool blankets. Similar to Pendleton blankets, in many different colors. Love the turquoise jewlrey. My mom has a big beaded bag of it that I hope I get a few peices of (she's half Native American) She finds it kind of amusing that Native American prints etc. are "in" right now.

    Remigio: Way to go, Navajo Nation! Either cease-and-desist, or collect roiaetyls for the use of your name (only on quality products of which you approve, of course). Same with sports teams that use Native names as mascots. Until recently, the University of North Dakota was paying the Standing Rock Sioux annual roiaetyls to use the name Fighting Sioux , which was a win-win and a source of pride for both parties. Unfortunately for both the Tribe and the university, political correctness put an end to that.

    Ann Puzio: Hi Mary, Need to change to the waiting list for 9/13-20th. I hope this is possible.Also, going to see if I can sign up for the online class, need to check my computer. Thanks ann
