San Luis Valley Colcha Embroidery: (Link to Colcha site)
The San Luis Valley Colcha Embroidery Project is a collaboration between HEART of Saguache, The Range in Saguache, Colorado, and artists in the Valley. Colcha embroidery is a textile practice that came to Colorado’s San Luis Valley from Northern New Mexico in the 19th Century and has been shaped by revival movements into a pictorial art that often illustrates local architecture, landscapes, community traditions, personal narratives, and folklore. The San Luis Valley Colcha Embroidery Project supports artists to teach and tend to vital community connections while celebrating cultural traditions. The project supports exhibitions, workshops, and scholarship.
This embroidery technique uses Paternayan / Colonial 3-Ply Persian wool Yarn.
