Tapestry Weaving #3

Yesterday I posted some tapestry in various stages of development.  Today you can see the hands of the weavers at work learning how to thread the warp with wool thread.

Tapestry Weaving #2

Here you can see three tapestries in various stages of development.  This activity takes place during a class in the Senior Center in Eldorado, New Mexico. The class is being taught by Lynne whom you met here.

Tomorrow I'll show you how the students begin.

Meet the Artist

I met Bob and his wife Lynne  at a small but very cool gallery in Eldorado, New Mexico.  Both of them work together to produce Southwestern style artwork. Bob, the ceramist, has been strongly influenced by the style of the Southwest culture and pottery. In his own words, Bob said, "My desire is to learn something new from each piece, and to use that knowledge to then produce a different, better work of art."

You met Bob's wife here with another of the pieces they did together.

Tapestry Weaving

Both Lynne and her husband are artists living in Eldorado, NM. I visited the art gallery  in La Tienda Shopping Center and was able to chat with both of them.  The ceramic mask was created by her husband, Bob,  but Lynne did the weaving  on the art piece.  Soon she is giving a two-month-long class on weaving, and altho the class is full, she invited me to visit, to watch, and to take some photos.

I do believe that I will buy this piece before I leave New Mexico or one of the others I showed you here.
