    logo_sedonamuseum2Sedona AZ (February 2, 2016) – The Sedona Heritage Museum announces their newest changing exhibit “Mary Pendleton Creates an Industry in Sedona”.

    The exhibit focuses on the impact, passions and talents of Mary and Fred Pendleton, who opened a weaving studio in Sedona in 1958. From their home and studio on Jordan Road, Fred manufactured table top weaving looms and benches, and Mary taught weaving. People traveled from around the country to Sedona for her classes and supplies. The Pendletons shipped their magazine, yarns, tools, looms and books around the world and Mary toured the country lecturing on weaving and dyeing techniques, and teaching. Among her many accomplishments, Mary also published a weaving magazine with samples of her yarns and weaving patterns, and published “Navajo and Hopi Weaving Techniques”, a book still recognized today as a teaching standard.

    As a charter member of the Arizona Craftsmen and Designers, Mary also started the Verde Valley Weavers and Spinners Guild and established the weaving department at NAU. In retirement, Mary taught weaving as a volunteer at the Rainbow Acres..

    Chamber Effort to Target
    Affluent Tourists Derailed

    By Tommy Acosta
    If you make less than $150,000 and thought of visiting Sedona you are not the target of a recently proposed marketing effort by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, focused on luring visitors that that are affluent. A request by the chamber for the city to release $225,000 from its marketing contingency plan to be used for destination marketing targeting people with money, was torpedoed at the Sedona City Council meeting of January 24. The chamber had hoped to use the contingency funds to bring tourists to Sedona that are well heeled and willing to spend scads of money rather than focusing marketing efforts on “day trippers” who come to the city to hike or spend little more than a day here exploring, off-roading, browsing the UpTown shops and spending little cash while clogging up the roads and making it difficult for locals to get around town.
