    logo_sedonamuseum2Sedona AZ (February 25, 2016) – The Sedona Heritage Museum is hosting an afternoon tea reception on March 5 from 3:30-5 p.m. to honor their newest special exhibit entitled “Mary Pendleton – Sedona’s Hand Weaver”.

    Mary and Fred Pendleton arrived in Sedona in 1960 after owning a very successful weaving business in Ohio. Mary was a weaver and teacher and Fred was a woodcarver and loom maker. After opening a studio and store, Mary published a newsletter, “The Looming Arts” that was distributed world-wide, and wrote her book titled “Navajo and Hopi Weaving Techniques”, still considered ‘the’ definitive book on Navajo and Hopi weaving today.

    Along with Betty Gaudy and others, Mary was also a founding member of the Verde Valley Weavers and Spinners Guild. Members of the guild and people who knew and worked with Mary will be attending the reception and sharing memories. Guild members now volunteer at the Sedona Heritage Museum giving demonstrations there.

    On display during the exhibit and reception are one of Fred’s looms, examples of his carved weaving tools and handsome bird sculptures. Mary’s art on display in the form of a hand-woven dress, weaving pattern samples and examples of her book and newsletters represent just a fraction of her artistry.

    The reception is open to the public. Refreshments will be served. RSVPs are welcomed but not necessary.

    The Sedona Heritage Museum is located at 735 Jordan Road in Jordan Historical Park in Uptown Sedona and is open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. For more information, call 928-282-7038.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
