I’ve just finished posting our Weaving in Beauty classes for 2009 and they are now open for registration:  The classes we’ve scheduled are

  • Weaving Class and Tour (May 9-16)
  • Advanced Weaving Seminar (August 8-13)
  • Natural Dye Retreat (August 13-15)
  • Weaving Class and Tour (August 16-23)
  • Weaving Class and Tour (October 3-10)

All the classes are taught on the Navajo Nation by Navajo instructors Jennie Slick or Rose Dedman.  The Weaving Class and Tour and Natural Dye Retreat are appropriate for any level of expertise and no prior weaving or dyeing experience is assumed or required.  The Advanced Weaving Seminar is an opportunity for concentrated and uninterrupted study of weaving and students are required to know how to warp independently and should be comfortable with the basics of weaving.

The cost of the classes has (sigh) gone up for next year for reasons that all of us probably understand all too well.   I have tried to hold the costs to a minimum while maintaining the quality of the experience and providing an appropriate level of compensation for the instructors.

You can read more about each of the classes and register at the Weaving in Beauty Mercantile, our online store.  Please contact me or leave a comment if you have questions about the classes, which I’ve been coordinating for (I can’t believe this) 10 years.

    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
