The Master Weavers Mark Winter A Classic Study of Two Grey Hills Navajo Textiles

Description: The Master Weavers: Celebrating one hundred years of Navajo Textile Art from the Toadlena/Two Grey Hills Weaving Region. The culmination of over twenty years of research and thousands of interviews by Mark Winter, operator of the Toadlena Trading Post in New Mexico. This book traces the lineage of the local Two Grey Hills weaving tradition that has passed from grandmothers to mothers, and mothers to daughters, going back to the early years of the 20th century. Genealogy charts depict the weaving families and clans, historic and contemporary photographs illustrate the textiles, and the exquisite color plates and detailed diagrams convey a wealth of knowledge available from no other source. Winter was only able to develop this expertise by viewing and studying thousands of textiles, most that he handled and sold, paying attention to family relationships, and eventually earning a level of trust among the weavers that enabled him to piece together this remarkable history of a unique American art form. 598 pages.
