THOUGHTS ON COLLECTING TEXTILES

As you begin to contemplate collecting Navajo rugs, I would encourage you to learn everything you can from books, from media, other collectors and especially the weavers themselves…look for quality in construction—well spun yarn; tightly woven threads and overall balance in the shape of the design elements. Textiles, just like any other art form, should speak to your soul—they should touch your heart. —Katie Richarme, owner, The Dancing Rabbit Gallery
