Type of Event

Cultural/Craft Demonstration

Description

This weekend, the Cultural Demonstration Program presents renown Diné artist, Laverine Greyeyes, who will demonstrate the fine art of pictorial rug weaving.

In contrast to traditional Diné rug designs woven in mostly geometric patterns, pictorial rugs include images of the landscape, animals and people, woven into the overall design. Laverine learned the art of weaving from her mother, Louise Nez. Together they have made weaving a career and have passed down the skill of weaving handmade rugs to the next generation.

Meet and watch Laverine at work in the Grand Canyon South Rim Visitor Center Friday, Saturday and Sunday, December 9 through 11, from 10am to 4pm.

The Cultural Demonstration program provides an opportunity for park visitors and community members to interact with tribal artisans from Grand Canyon's traditionally associated tribes - and for them to share their history and crafts, along with the skills, knowledge, and efforts involved in creating their handicrafts.
This series is made possible with grants from Grand Canyon Conservancy.
