My sister Barbara Teller Ornelas and I, Lynda Teller Pete teach Navajo Weaving for two weeks in July at the Idyllwild Arts - Summer Program in Idyllwild, California. It was an honor for us to mentor Navajo Youth with this traditional art.
Idyllwild Arts offers a 2 week Navajo Weaving Scholarship for a Navajo Youth to take our class for this Summer Program in July, 2008. We are seeking a Navajo youth 17 years of age. The family must meet income guidelines to qualify for this weaving scholarship.
Idyllwild Arts is located in Idyllwild, California, up in the San Jacinto Mountains above Palm Springs, CA. Tuition and boarding expenses are paid by the school. Travel expenses to and from California are paid by the Scholarship recipient. The 2 week class will be from June 30 – July 4, 2008 and July 7-11, 2008 from 9 am to 4 pm. A weaving loom, weaving tools and wool are provided for the student. These items may be purchased by the student at the end of the summer program. The student will learn how to warp, learn about designs, color combinations and basic weaving techniques.
The campus is an enclosed campus. The student will have a dorm room in Family Housing with an option to switch during the second week to student housing with an assigned chaperone. There is a cafeteria, bookstore, a library, a pool and other fun things to do on campus. If you need additional information, please contact me via email, ltellerpete@yahoo.com. No phone calls please.
STEP 1. Fill out the attached application. The emphasis on the essay is why the youth would like to learn how to weave. Applications are due on May 30, 2008; no late applications will be accepted.
Mail application to:
2142 Irving Street

STEP 2. A committee of 4 will review all applications and the winner and 2 runner ups will be notified on June 6, 2008.
STEP 3. The Scholarship recipient will contact Idyllwild Arts- Summer Program to complete the School's application and confirm that they fall under the $35,000.00 income guideline limit.
STEP 4. The Scholarship recipient will make plans for travel to Idyllwild, CA on June 29, and travel home on July 12, 2008.
STEP 5. The Scholarship recipient will fill out an evaluation form during the second week of Weaving class.
