Sinopsis
For the first time, master Navajo weavers themselves share the deep, inside story of how the best-known, most-admired, and most-collected textiles in North America are created, and how their creation resonates in Navajo culture. Want to weave a high-quality, Navajostyle rug? This book has detailed how-to instructions, meticulously illustrated by a Navajo artist, from warping the loom to important finishing touches. Want to understand the deeper meaning? You’ll learn why the fixed parts of the loom are male, and the working parts are female. You’ll learn how weaving relates to the earth, the sky, the sacred directions. You’ll learn how the Navajo people were given their weaving tradition (and it wasn’t borrowed from the Pueblos!) You’ll learn how important a weaver’s attitude and spirit are to creating successful rugs. You’ll learn what it means to live in hózhó, the Beauty Way.
While many books have been written about Navajo weaving, techniques, and styles, almost no books on Navajo weaving are actually written by Navajos. How to Weave a Navajo Rug is written by two award-winning, professional Navajo weavers. In addition to their acclaim in the Navajo art world, the authors are professional teachers whose weaving workshops in retails shops, museums, and galleries across the country, consistently fill beyond capacity. Their book is based on years of classroom teaching.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. The only how-to book on Navajo weaving told by Navajo weavers. Navajo blankets, rugs, and tapestries are the best-known, most-admired, and most-collected textiles in North America. There are scores of books about Navajo weaving, but no other book like this one. For the first time, master Navajo weavers themselves share the deep, inside story of how these textiles are created, and how their creation resonates in Navajo culture.

You'll learn how weaving relates to the earth, the sky, and the sacred directions. You'll learn how the Navajo people were given their weaving tradition (and it wasn't borrowed from the Pueblos!), and how important a weaver's attitude and spirit are to creating successful rugs.

Characteristic Native American humour is not in short supply. Their contribution to cultural understanding and the preservation of their craft is priceless.
