The first took place last March at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture (MIAC) during the Navajo Studies Conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Taught by Hedlund and Museum of New Mexico registrar Cathy Notarnicola, with contributions from MIAC curator Joyce Begay-Foss,\u00a0the workshop\u00a0was deemed a success\u00a0by its registrants, half of whom were Navajo weavers and the other half, museum curators.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">_____<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The next is offered during the annual meetings of the Textile Society of America, on Wednesday, September 19, 2012, at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, DC. Hedlund will teach again\u00a0with\u00a0Notarnicola and with NMAI conservator Susan Heald. There are still a few places open for participants and you do not have to register for the entire meetings.
