Book Synopsis The Centinela Weavers of Chimayo by : Mary Terence McKay
Book excerpt: This is the story of the Trujillo weaving family of Chimayo, New Mexico, and the long history of a weaving tradition that begins with Spanish settlement in the region. Richly illustrated with examples of dynamic contemporary blankets, as well as some of the textiles and weavers who came before, the book chronicles how the craft evolved from a winter necessity into the celebrated art form that it is today.
