Learn To Weave

I’ve just finished revamping the Where to Learn Indigenous Weaving Techniques page and it’s going to be an exciting year with lots of great classes and wonderful instructors, if you don’t count me.  Me, I’m not too bad for a bilagáana.  I’ve summarized the classes for you below, and you can click on any of the class titles to get all the juicy details of the class that you’re interested in.  Most of the listings have email addresses and/or phone numbers where you can contact a real, live person who will be glad to answer questions and get you started on a great weaving adventure.

    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
