Teaching

We believe in the power of education and actively share our knowledge of textiles and Native American heritage and art through workshops, exhibitions, and collaborations. By teaching others, we preserve and perpetuate the rich traditions of our ancestors while inspiring new generations of artists and designers.

Quality

Our commitment to quality is unwavering. Every piece created at Makwa Studio is meticulously crafted with the finest materials and techniques, ensuring that our work not only meets but exceeds the highest standards of excellence in textile artistry.

Materials

We embrace the innovative use of materials in our work, pushing the boundaries of traditional textile art. By incorporating multimedia elements like photographs, beer caps, and 3D-printed objects, we create unique, thought-provoking pieces that challenge conventional perceptions and celebrate the versatility of our medium.

We believe that education is a powerful tool for empowerment and cultural preservation.
