from earth to loom
Futuros Ancestral is a research & design studio — based in Taos, New Mexico — with the goal of supporting the educational, ecological, and economic landscape of adobe & fiber arts in Northern New Mexico.
upcoming
Come weave with us to kickoff the Taos Wools Festival!
Learn the art of Navajo horse cinch weaving with Jay Begay (Diné) — who raises Navajo-Churro sheep and Navajo-Angora goats on his family's ancestral land. Jay's childhood was spent with his late paternal grandmother tending to the family’s flock of sheep and goats. Together, Jay learned the skills to continue their pastoral ways.
In this 3-day workshop, you will warp & weave a 32-inch horse cinch — and you'll bring home your very own handmade horse cinch loom to continue your practice. Hosted in our historic adobe weaving studio in Taos, New Mexico.
Wednesday, October 1 – Friday, October 3
9am – 5pm daily
$380
