The New Mexico Fiber Arts Trails
Support creativity at its source! The New Mexico Fiber Arts Trails are your guide to experiencing the creativity of more than 250 rural fiber artists and fiber arts enterprises.

New Mexico artist studios, galleries, trading posts, cottage enterprises, training programs and creative communities. Farms, growers, processors and suppliers connect travelers with the vital agricultural base of New Mexico's fiber arts industry. Three rural loop trails inspire self-guided explorations along the enchanting back roads of north central, northwest and southern New Mexico, where each site has a banner indicating its inclusion in the guide. ‘Fiber network sites’ provide visitors with updated Trails information in northern New Mexico, at the Española Valley Fiber Arts Center in Española, and in southern New Mexico, at The Common Thread in Silver City,
The guide’s evocative photos, site descriptions, maps and essays shepherd travelers through an integrated cycle - from raw materials, through a medley of techniques, styles, materials and creative processes, to hand-crafted works of art. Travelers can learn about rich and age-old cultural traditions unique to New Mexico, such as Navajo or Rio Grande weaving, and Hispanic colcha embroidery. Innovative contemporary fiber arts may be found, as well as unexpected forms that cross artistic media. The trails feature wearable art, tapestries, art quilts, baskets, felted items, fiber-based sculptures, handmade books, silk painting and more. The guide's calendar of major fiber events, glossary and reading list take the visitor deeper into a historically significant New Mexico creative industry. Many sites offer classes, workshops and/or supplies. Wheelchair-accessible sites are noted.
The New Mexico Fiber Arts Trails were developed by New Mexico Arts, a division of the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with fiber artisans statewide. They were born out of New Mexico Arts’ commitment to creative economic development as an essential element of a sustainable rural future. We invite you to celebrate New Mexico’s diverse communities, lifestyles and landscapes through the rich textures of fiber arts. Happy Trails!
