The Center of Southwest Studies is pleased to bring to campus innovative Diné textile weaver and Fort Lewis College alum, Venancio Aragon, for a demonstration of natural wool dyeing using native and invasive plants. Venancio will share the same process he uses to create the wool skeins for his incredible polychromatic textiles. This opportunity is free and open to the community. Drop in and meet Venancio and learn about his studio practice as a dynamic Navajo textile artist, made even more fascinating with his background in anthropology and his experiences as a Fort Lewis College alum of the Native American and Indigenous Studies program.
