presented by Lisa Trujillo
Lisa Trujillo, is a member of the Trujillo family of weavers who settled in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, between Santa Fe and Taos. Spanish settlers came through
Mexico seeking land and the Trujillo family was one of the original families who made Chimayo their home. Lisa learned to weave after marrying seventh-generation master weaver Irvin Trujillo in 1982. She has developed into an award-winning weaver, using traditional techniques and materials to create new work. She has taken an active role in preserving this rich Hispanic weaving tradition by publishing “A Chimayo Weaver’s Guidebook” and teaching workshops. She and her husband have passed their love of weaving on to their daughter Emily Trujillo, who has become the eighth generation of the Trujillo weavers.
