The Centinela Weavers of Chimayo: Unfolding Tradition by M McKay & L Trujillo

Description: There have been blanket weavers in the town of Chimayo for generations, spinning, dyeing, and weaving in a tradition dating back to the valley's earliest Spanish settlers. The Centinela Weavers of Chimayo: Unfolding Tradition explores how weaving evolved from a winter necessity to a unique art form, eloquently expressing its origins in the villages of Northern New Mexico. The current generation of weavers at La Centinela in Chimayo, Irvin and Lisa Trujillo, share their firsthand experience and understanding of weaving within the tradition. The book is richly illustrated with examples of their contemporary artistry, as well as some of the textiles by weavers who came before. -87 pages, hardcover-Dust jacket torn. Dedication written in pen on title page. Otherwise in very good condition.
