A Northern New Mexico, Hispanic, Folk Art, Fiber Art, Weaving, Tapestry Gallery
Northern New Mexico
Located in Chimayo, New Mexico on the "High Road to Toas". We are about 45 minutes from Santa Fe, and about an hour and a half to Taos. See our map. Hispanic
Most of our weavers are Hispanic and all of them learned and draw from the art of Rio Grande Weaving, a tradition developed over four centuries of Spanish settlement in Northern New Mexico.
Folk Art
Historically produced for trade and for home use, Rio Grande blankets were woven by people of all ages and abilities.
Fiber Art
We weave with wool, some of it handspun, lots of it natural dyed. We also sell clothing of other fibers as well. Weaving
We don't sell anything but weavings and books about weaving.
Tapestry
The large majority of our weavings use tapestry.
Gallery
We are a unique combination of a cottage industry and an art gallery, displaying the works of several artists/weavers, and trying to encourage the highest quality and creativity. Weavers have different business relationships with the shop, some are contracted, some are represented on a consignment basis.
