The 5th exhibition at the Nizhoni Ranch Gallery focusing on the living artists whose works are represented in the Navajo Churro Collection. The weaving families featured rank among the most talented Navajo weaving families past or present. They have mastered the traditional techniques of the Navajo loom, taking the Navajo textile to new heights of design and symmetry.
Our love of Navajo weaving started as a passion for collecting, that morphed into a business and then into a gallery. In the 1990's we started the Navajo Churro Collection - providing the weavers with Navajo Churro Wool that was custom spun and hand dyed with the finest natural and aniline dyes available. The real artistry comes from the weavers magically putting the wefts into a spatial design - that is at times beyond belief.
A catalog was printed to preserve the exhibit, as some pieces find new homes.
Weavings featured in the Master Weavings of the Navajo Churro Collection Exhibit which are available for sale are listed below. As always, if you have any questions please call us at 520-455-5020.
