Navajo weaving
Diné loom craft
Navajo weaving is the textile tradition of the Navajo people of the American Southwest, known for distinctive geometric patterns in wool blankets and rugs.
Weavers work on upright looms, creating pieces that range from functional trade goods to ceremonial objects.
The craft has been practiced for centuries and remains a living art form: Her grandmother taught her Navajo weaving on a loom behind the house.
