Online Navajo Weaving Class: Beginning Navajo Weaving Techniques
A look inside the Weaving in Beauty virtual classroom
If you’d like an introduction to Navajo weaving techniques but can’t find a class in your area, consider joining our online class in Navajo weaving techniques. You’ll work with other students in an online classroom where the week’s topic will be fully explained. You’ll have time to ask questions and also show your work. You’ll also have access to our growing library online videos and presentations so that you can review topics in depth for a more thorough understanding of what is being taught. The content of the class is virtually the same as it is for our class in Window Rock, but we haven’t been able to virtualize the frybread. Tuition is $100, and includes a PDF download of our textbook, ‘Atł’óhí Binaltsoos. Tools that you’ll need will be available through the Mercantile. We recommend that you purchase your yarns from R.B. Burnham and Co., but there are many yarns that will work, so contact me if you’ve got some that you’d like to try.
