Our Navajo weaving techniques class in  September 2020 is a seven-day total immersion into weaving and modern Navajo life in and near the Navajo Nation at our store in the very diverse and artistically vibrant community of Gallup, New Mexico.  We stay in modern accommodations at the Best Western Plus about a mile from the store, and we will help shuttle you back and forth to the hotel as needed.  There are six good places to eat within walking distance and we are located in the heart of the downtown arts district.  Part of the day you'll learn Navajo weaving techniques and another slice of our time is spent exploring the weaving related attractions in the area.  Our days typically start at 8 AM, and we call it quits at 9 PM.  We weave on a traditional loom, sitting in a chair.
