is the newest division of Loom Dancer Odysseys. We have operated a fiber art retreat for five years in Ridgway, Colorado in memory of our dear friend and weaver, Patty McNall. Recently, we decided to move that artistic venue to culturally rich Santa Fe, New Mexico at our
Casita de Tejedores y Artistas
(Little House of Weavers and Artists). In this intimate haven, we host a variety of textile and art workshops especially designed for small groups or an ideal one-on-one experience. Our instructors include local artists from the Santa Fe area and from all corners of the globe. You don't even need for an international airline ticket to work with these remarkable global artists! We have a variety of looms styles to work on as well as a dedicated art room perfect for many other artistic mediums. Our dye garden is in the planting stage and should yield some wonderful plants soon for use in our natural dyeing workshops. Most of our multi-day tours include accommodations, a full day professionally guided exploration of Santa Fe's environs as well as a Culture Pass offering free entrance to the many museums and sites.
La Casita de Tejedores y Artistas
is also available for rent by any artist or organization wishing to utilize this unique venue for their own endeavors.
