AuthorNoél Bennett
Noél Bennett writes and paints at her experimental strawbale house in the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico.
SummaryNoél Bennett met Navajo weaver Tiana Bighorse in 1968. In time Tiana took her into her family as a daughter. Together they sheared sheep, collected plants, dyed wool, carded, spun and wove. This book records their many experiences together, a collaboration that spans nearly 30 years.
In 1971, Tiana and Noél wrote 'Working with the wool: How to weave a Navajo Rug'. Noél later later wrote 'Designing with the Wool' and 'The Weaver's Pathway'.Now, this single authoritative volume brings together those three books - with updates and revisions - as well as excerpts from other published articles and books by Noél and Tiana about Navajo weaving, culture and history.Detailed charts and illustrations help the weaver find her way step-by-step through the making of a first sampler and through several more advanced techniques. Brilliant photographs by John Runnning illuminate the pages.
