Textile Weaving — History Behind Southwestern Arts

Weaving is nearly a 2,000 year old skill that has been passed down each generation to the people inhabiting the Southwest. Traditional weaving patterns eventually diverged and contemporary images and words were featured in modern rugs. Weaving takes a great deal of time depending on the size of the rug, it can take weeks to months to produce a finished piece.
