Starting to Unfold Tradition
So we thought we’d take on blogging about what we do here at Centinela Traditional Arts. There are a few of us here who can post, all of us with different points of view and expertise. So we have a lot to say! We like to think that what we do here matters to more than just us. And we know that what we do here is more than a little mysterious to most people. We firmly believe that your understanding more about our tradition, our process, and our materials, the more you’ll enjoy the beautiful work produced and sold here.
What we want to write about :
- Where and what it's like to live here
- The weaving process
- Spinning Wool
- Dying wool
- Getting to know the weavers we work with and represent
- The history we learn so much from
And we’re going to draw from some of the stuff we have already published
- -our book, “The Centinela Weavers of Chimayo – Unfolding Tradition “
- -“A Chimayo Weaver’s Manual” – that we teach from
- -a loom design
- -our website, https://www.chimayoweavers.com/
More importantly, we’ve old enough and experienced enough to have formed a lot of thoughtful opinions on these things.
