Class is full! More Rio Grande Weaving coming soon!

Members: $310
Non-Members: $350

Limit: 5 participants

Learn to weave in the Rio Grande tradition. In this three day course Emily will teach both the art of shuttle work and tapestry. Emily will also touch on the history and origins of Rio Grande Weaving. Learn about styles and the basics of weaving on a Spanish floor loom. No previous skills are required. Ages 10 and up.

Students will be using traditional walking looms (you will be standing for the majority of the class, at these looms).

Emily Trujillo is an 8th generation Chimayo weaver. She has been weaving on a Spanish floor loom in the Rio Grande style since she was a child. Emily is the daughter of master weavers Irvin and Lisa Trujillo. She exhibits and sells her work at the renowned Centinela Traditional Arts in Chimayo, New Mexico.

If you haven’t seen the amazing work of Emily Trujillo and her family at their weaving shop and gallery, we highly recommend a visit. Centinela is located just a few miles from Española, in Chimayo, the weaving capital of our nation. Emily is a new favorite, energetic teacher at EVFAC. Her students have been leaving this class with prize winning beginner pieces, and we owe that to her masterful teaching skills. We are very excited to have her as part of our education team.
