On this episode of Report from Santa Fe, we interview Mark Winter, author of “Dances with Wool,” and “The Master Weavers: Celebrating 100 Years of Navajo Textile Artists,” who has been collecting and trading Navajo textiles for 20 years. His book is a magnum opus which includes pictures of the grandmothers weaving the textiles and their genealogy. Navajo weaving originated from early upright looms used primarily for weaving cotton. When the Spanish brought sheep, the Navajo women slowly picked up the art of weaving. Guest: Mark Winter (Author “Dances with Wool”). Hostess: Lorene Mills.
