Ya at' eeh!
Marilou
Schultz, Navajo, weaver of Navajo Rugs or Dine Rugs/Weavings. I weave
all styles of Navajo rugs/weavings such as the Classic, Germantown, Regional,
Contemporary styles and create my own designs in some of my weavings.
Most of my Navajo rugs/Dine Weavings are of very fine wooI. Sometimes
I card, spin, and dye Churro sheep yarns for special orders. All my Navajo
weavings/Dine rugs are commissioned pieces unless I make one for a show
or market. I've been weaving since I was a child and have continued the
tradition. I sometimes rely on roving Navajo Churro wool and some pre-dyed
wool (vegetal - plant dyed) for some of my projects since I have a full-time
teaching job.I am currently working on a several commisson pieces but
always have time for more. Feel free to inquire about a Navajo style rug or
if you have your own design that you might be interested in having made into a tapestry. I come from more than five generations
of Navajo weavers so there is always someone in my family who can fill your
order.
During
the summer months I devote my time to weaving Navajo/Dine rugs and natural
dye workshops across the U. S. I also conduct presentations and/or demonstrations
on the history of Native tribes, Weaving & Dyeing methods of Navajo
Rugs, and on teaching & working with Native American students for
schools, organizations, museums, and weaving guilds whenever my schedule
permits.
"Ya
at' eeh" in my language is a greeting and can be interpreted to mean
"hello" although there is no direct translation. I hope you
enjoy my site. If you have questions or have a request feel free to
send an email.
