Centinela Traditional Arts

Centinela Traditional Arts Review

Centinela Traditional Arts continues the Trujillo family weaving tradition, which started in northern New Mexico more than seven generations ago. Irvin Trujillo and his wife, Lisa, are both gifted, award-winning master weavers, creating Rio Grande-style tapestry blankets and rugs, many of them with natural dyes that authentically replicate early weavings. Most designs are historically based, but the Trujillos are never shy about innovating and their original works are as breathtaking as the traditional ones. The shop and gallery carry these heirloom-quality textiles, with a knowledgeable and very friendly staff on hand to demonstrate or answer questions about the weaving techniques.
