From the Walnut Creek Civic Arts Education website:
Weaving is a legacy in the Teller family. For over five generations, grandmothers, mother, sisters, sons, aunts, and cousins have produced award-winning rugs in the traditional Two Grey Hills pattern. The Navajo design is identified primarily by a double-diamond layout and intricate geometric imagery that uses natural colored, hand-carded and hand-spun wool.
Now, two members of the Teller family – Lynda Teller Pete and her sister Barbara Teller Ornelas– will share their legacy with Civic Arts students in a Navajo Rug Weaving Workshop on August 27 – 31.
The August workshop takes place, Monday – Friday, from 10 am – 4 pm at Studio H in Heather Farm Park. Upright, pre-warped looms will be provided. For a complete materials list and to register, go to www.arts-ed.org.
