Navajo Weaving: Sharing the Technique and Tradition DVD
With Maloney & Clark
Presented by Angie Walker Maloney with Susanne Clark. This comprehensive video workshop begins with personal remarks by Navajo weaver Angie Walker Maloney. It includes information on tools, yarn, and equipment, and a look at several different styles of Navajo looms. You will learn how to spin and ply edging cord, prepare the warp, apply the edging cord, and make the heddles. Tips on how to use the loom, create the sheds, and use the tools get you started. You will weave stripes, vertical lines (by interlocking wefts on the same row), squares or blocks, diagonals and diamonds. You can follow along by weaving the design provided or create one of your own based upon the discussion in "Planning a Rug Design", which includes specific information on weaving a design that reverses at the center of the rug. Many tips and solutions to potential problems are given throughout the video. Angie's method of finishing a rug the Navajo way is magic!

"I learned a lot from this DVD"
"They were so helpful since I know so little about weaving! Dvd is great! Making lots of learning mistakes and i weaving a lot but I am learning and hooked! I will order more!"
"A little bit of unnecessary chattiness but overall an excellent video"
"This was very clear in showing how to warp and weave in the Navaho Way."
"This DVD allows one to learn about the traditional weaving of the SW. It is thorough with the steps to set up a loom and use it. Very inspiring!"
"I have been thinking of taking a Navajo Weaving workshop for some time. Yet, at the moment it is simply not feasible. So I was very happy to discover this DVD. Now I can have my own ""workshop"" at home. I like the clear instructions and explanations as well as the cultural background. Having lived in New Mexico for three years, hearing the music, hearing the Navajo way of teaching again, seeing the landscape brings back wonderful memories. In one word, it is an ""authentic"" DVD - and that definitely comes through. Also, it was a very good price and fast shipping. Thank you."
