For More than thirty years, Master Weaver & Textile Artist Christina Bergh has created beautiful textiles and fine art tapestries for clients all over the world.
Christina's studio outside Santa Fe, New Mexico is fully equipped for any kind of textile project. Her eleven hand looms include two computer controlled Jacquard looms that Christina designed and had custom built for her. The Jacquard looms allow her to weave extremely complex patterns, including detailed images derived from photos and drawings.
We can work from your designs, or we can assist you in creating the perfect design. See our portfolio to see some products that we can weave, and some pattern and color combination ideas.
We have woven just about everything, from blankets, to curtains, tablecloths, rugs, clothing fabrics, pillows, fine art tapestries for home decor, historic reproductions of Native American and Spanish Colonial designs, and our exclusive woven interpretations of the work of famed Santa Fe artist Gustave Baumann.
Call or email us to discuss your project. Christina and her artistans can design and weave it!
Every project begins with dyeing the yarn. Christina uses the finest threads and yarns, which she dyes by hand over large industrial stoves in the studio.
Christina's dogs sometimes get into trouble! Bowman the bulldog has got hold of some yarn that was hung too low.

Christina's large bi-level studio houses eleven looms for weaving everything from napkins to cashmere clothing fabric to saddle blankets to curtain fabric to rugs to large scale architectural tapestries. Our looms include:
- A 14 foot tapestry loom that makes it possible to weave large scale architectural tapestries.
- 12 foot and 8 foot wide rug looms
- Two computer-assisted Jacquard looms for weaving complex designs with fine details. These looms allow weaving designs from photographs and drawings.
