Navajo Wedge Weaving with Nikyle Wes
3 Day Class: Thursday, May 30th through Saturday, June 1st:
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday 9am-4pm (with an hour long lunch break each day)
*please note -- students must attend all sessions*
$330 Class Fee
Materials: supplied by student, see below
Location: Workshop 1, Gregg Cabin
Level: Beginner-Intermediate
Materials: All students must bring a Navajo-style loom, tools, and yarn to class. Loom sets (includes comb) can be purchased here, please purchase the Basic Navajo Loom Kit SET ($150). Recommended yarn is 3-6 colors Lamb's Pride Bulky, available in many yarn shops or here.
From the instructor: "Wedge or Scalloped Edge weaving is an ancient technique devised by the Navajo. It is unclear how or why this technique of weaving was developed, but within the last 150 years it had nearly gone extinct. Due to the demand of regional pattern rugs and the aim for high quality, Traders on the Navajo Reservation shunned the idea of any textile that did not have straight edges. Due to the the technique used in wedge weaving, which is, rather than weaving the weft horizontal from right to left, it is woven diagonally from bottom to top. The manipulation of the weft against the warp creates a textile with “scalloped” edges and a “zig zagged” pattern.
Within the past decade a few Navajo Weavers have dedicated their time to reviving and refining this weaving technique. This is a great opportunity to be apart of the revival of wedge weaving and to learn Navajo Cultural stories and techniques.
Students will learn on a pre-warped setup. We will also learn Navajo cultural sheep and weaving stories. The main objective is to learn Navajo Wedge weaving and our goal is to finish a small sampler by the end of the class."

Forget depending on textile companies or chemical dyes—you'll be free to find rebellious color in your local environment, your kitchen, and from natural sources around the world. You won't need a lot of special equipment either—we'll work with tools and processes you can use almost anywhere, to make infinitely varied designs. You'll learn all the steps in this process: making dye pastes, assembling small screens for printing, designing and cutting stencils, and printing. We'll explore the science behind natural dyes and mordants, and fuse ancient traditions with new ideas. Working with natural dyes is a great way to reclaim a sense of place and individuality in your clothing and textiles, and build a more sustainable craft practice." Students should bring: • Comfortable clothes and shoes which you don't mind getng dye on, and/or an apron • Rubber gloves • An old plain terry cloth bath towel (bring two if you have room when packing) • An old sheet or a few yards of expendable smooth fabric (for a printng/steaming surface) • Four to six light-colored, small- to medium-sized fabric items to dye and print on as time permits, such as: scarves or bandanas, pillowcases, dishtowels, T-shirts, or smaller cuts of fabric for later projects. These can be made of either cellulose fiber (cotton/linen/hemp etc.) or protein fiber (silk/wool/alpaca etc.), but must be all natural fiber, and should not include any synthetic fiber content. New and used/thrifted items both work well. Things you feel free to play and experiment with are the best. *Note: fabric items you want to print on should be as clean as possible, ideally scoured. You will get more informaton about this via email before class. Questions about this class? Contact Tasha directly using the button below. |
