Can Candace Fix It? Yes, She Can!
Candace is one of our continuing weaving students and had set up her third weaving, hoping to work on it during the holiday break of 2022. She wanted to challenge herself, so she selected an ambitious Eyedazzler pattern. It would demand that she pay attention to the weft position on each and every row. … Read about Candace’s persistence in fixing and finishing her project.

When a Navajo family loses a member, the family and close friends gather to contribute to the final expenses. Our Weaving in Beauty family has lost one of our younger members, Ryan Largo, who passed away last week in Denver at the age of 26.
Ryan was the grandson of Rose Gorman Dedman and Henry Lee Dedman. Ryan had beaten cancer twice in his young life, but he died from complications of the severe strain of the flu that we've had in our area.
Rose and Henry hosted many years of natural dye classes and cookouts for our weaving groups at their home and the Quality Inn in Window Rock. Henry made almost all of the tools we used in class then. Ryan often helped his grandfather build looms and make weaving tools. Ryan even made and sold tools himself.
Ryan's mother, Sheila Largo, and his grandmother, Rose, have asked us to share the news about Ryan and ask any of you who would like to contribute to the funeral fund to do that through Sheila's Zelle account at 505-317-8828.
On behalf of Sheila and Rose, thanks!
Some of the acts were doing sound checks yesterday at the theater. They sounded great, and this is a wonderful cause. All proceeds go straight to Youth Shelters & Family Services. They do great work with unhoused youth in our community.
Here is our schedule as of right now! Our week-long classes for 2023 are almost full.
