About Centinela Traditional Arts
Centinela Traditional Arts is an absolute treasure and a must-see. It is a Chimayó weaving studio that feels more like a museum than a store, offering a living connection to culture and craftsmanship. The collection features beautiful, traditional, and modern handcrafted works, including breathtaking large-scale hand-loomed rugs, tapestries, vests, purses, and clothing. The current owners are passionate, seventh-generation master weavers. They and their team are exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, warm, and engaging, offering informative tours. Visitors can see the massive, old-school looms that are more than a century old and learn about the unique designs, techniques, and personal history woven into every thread. It is a place to support authentic weavers and keep the Chimayó tradition alive.

We had the most amazing experience meeting the family that owns this shop! 8th generation weavers, they wove for us, showed us family looms, explained design styles. They stock many styles of rugs and clothing. A must visit!!
