Portfolio Example & Materials Statement
Lola Cody

I raise different colored Navajo Churro sheep at No Water Mesa on the Navajo Reservation. I shear and hand spin the wool to use in my textiles which I weave on a traditional Navajo vertical loom. In addition to my natural churro wool, I use vegetal and analine dyed processed wool.
