About Weaving in Beauty

Weaving in Beauty is dedicated to expanding the appreciation and knowledge of the textiles of what is now the southwestern United States. We offer cleaning, repair and appraisal of flatwoven textiles and we coordinate classes in fiber techniques to help others learn.

As part of the weaving community, we provide a forum for discussion of the people, techniques and events encompassing this evolving art form.
