About this event
We invite you to begin to learn New Mexico’s traditional embroidery style colcha with world renowned colcha artist Julia Gomez and fellow El Rancho de Las Golondrinas colcha artists Michelle Montano and Barbara Alba. Colcha is an historic folkart brought to New Mexico by the Spanish. Born out of necessity to help mend linens while stretching materials, it is known for its distinctive yarn saving stitch. Colcha is an important part of our hands-on Museum interpretation and an artform we hope endures for years to come. Space is limited, we look forward to seeing you there! A starter colcha kit will be provided to all participants. November 14th | 10:00am-12:00pm General Admission | $40 Members | $30 Tickets on sale soon!
