Rio Grande Weaving, a Spanish Tradition
with Emily Trujillo

In this amazing class, students learned how to weave in the Rio Grande tradition. This three day course taught both shuttle work and tapestry, as well as a little about the history and origins of Rio Grande Weaving. Students learned about styles and the basics of weaving on a Spanish floor loom.
