About Woven Stories (2011)
“Weaving in Northern New Mexico has joined three distinct cultures into a human tapestry with a common love of fiber and spirit of place. These traditions continue in the small communities of Mora, Taos, Tierra Amarilla, El Rito, Española, Truchas, and Chimayo, each one bringing a specific contribution to the art and practicality of fiber.”
About the Panelists
