The Hispanic weavers of New Mexico have connections to the weavers of Spain not only as descendants, but in their use of the treadle loom and sheep's wool, both brought to the Americas by the Spanish in the 16th century. Accomplished weavers like Irvin Trujillo (above) have taken the Hispanic weaving tradition to new levels, producing innovative pieces that are unparalleled in quality and creativity.
