Tewa weaving

Tewa weaving is a traditional Native American craft practiced by the Tewa people, primarily in New Mexico. It involves creating intricate and durable textiles, often rugs, blankets, and clothing, using natural fibers like yucca and wool. Weavers employ techniques such as spinning, dyeing with plant-based colors, and hand-weaving on looms to produce geometric patterns and symbols significant to their culture. Tewa weaving reflects cultural identity, storytelling, and connection to the land, showcasing both artistic skill and cultural heritage passed down through generations.
