Come learn the art of Navajo style weaving in the beautiful Four Corners area!  Classes are planned for mornings only.  Your afternoon will be time for exploring the area or for weaving on your own.  You will be using a C. Cactus Flower Miniature loom for classes.  Miniature projects enable you to learn the techniques of Navajo style weaving on a small loom with a minimum amount of time and supplies.  You will learn all the same techniques found in full-size rugs-only in small scale!

The small class size of two to four students enable you to receive individual attention.  we offer beginning, intermediate, and advanced instruction.  Or, stay the entire week and become an expert!

There is a multitude of activities in the Four-Corners area.  Tour Mesa Verde or one of the many other ancient Pueblo ruins in the area.  Visit trading posts or antique stores.  Ride the Durango-Silverton railroad.  Hike, bike, fish or swim.  There is more to do in the area than time!  Your stay will be a memorable event!

Want to see what fun places are available in the area?  Go to www.tscottphotography.com and click on the "Galleries" link at the top of the page.  Then click on the "Western Colorado & Southeastern Utah" link about half-way down the page.  Scott and his wife Andrea were visitors in 2008.  He clicked away while Andrea wove.  His photographs are beautiful and highlight the spectacular scenery in our area.
