Giving Sheep A Job
|

light (art felts) or sewn producing pillows and various bags. Everything is hand-washable, hand-made in Taos and all the flat felts are reversible. Lana Dura LLC

I use only wool from Navajo-Churro sheep, the breed which I raised since 1990. These sheep give me a sophisticated and wonderful natural color palette with their colorful wool: white and black plus many browns and grays and patterns. This
historic and now rare breed arrived in this hemisphere with the Spanish Conquistadores in the 1500s. I am fortunate enough
to have found their wonderful fiber and this thoroughly sustainable material enables me to Give Sheep a Job.

I am nuts about trees, I even speak to them...
and to the branches I cut along the arroyos to create my lamps. I ask: speak to me, tell me one of your stories, some dream, some fantasy. Shutting the buzz in my mind, I listen with my eyes, until my hands follow & shape with colorful papers, the story they whisper. Each new lamp is a duo between the peculiar nature of the branches and my own imagination.

IRVIN TRUJILLO
As a seventh-generation Rio Grande weaver living in Chimayo, New Mexico, my work has evolved from the traditional styles of my forefathers. I use design ideas from historic Rio Grande weavings of Northern New Mexico and add my own aesthetic by combining old ideas with my own vision. My pieces may interpret my Hispanic history and culture, document events of the modern world, or make observations based on what is happening in my life. Most of my weavings develop spontaneously, as my father taught me. Executing an idea means discovering and overcoming the limitations imposed by traditional techniques and looms, and adopting, or perhaps changing, solutions as the weaving progresses. The binary logic of weaving makes the creative process and the execution of ideas inseparable. Not knowing the final outcome makes each weaving a journey. EMILY TRUJILLO

LISA TRUJILLO
Lisa Trujillo learned to weave after marrying Irvin in 1982. She has spent the years since then immersing herself in learning traditional design systems as well as finding new ways to use traditional techniques and materials. She has become adept at spinning churro wool quickly into a yarn ideally suited for her richly-textured tapestries and blankets. Her occasional weaving workshops have helped her develop teaching materials that she hopes to eventually make available beyond just her workshop students. 
"Proud Hands" by Emily Trujillo
It's natural dyed churro wool: indigo (blue) and Black Walnut (tan), Natural Black (from my aunt's sheep) and Natural white. We dyed the yarn here at Centinela, a process I've been learning from my dad.
