Description

Navajo Weaving Today by Nancy Schiffer is a pictorial study that showcases the contemporary results of this traditional craft. Through hundreds of photographs and accompanying text, the book presents the evolving regional styles associated with Navajo blankets and rugs, including Burntwater, Wide Ruins, Ganado, Crystal, Chinle, Two Grey Hills, Teec Nos Pos, Western Reservation, and Shiprock area designs. The book highlights the ongoing talent among today's Navajo weavers, as well as special purpose and fancy weavings such as saddle blankets, round, double, and two-faced weaves, and multiples designs. The quality and diversity of Navajo weavings are evident in this collection, which provides a valuable insight into the craft. This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in textiles, art, or Native American studies.
