Martha Gorman Schultz

Martha Gorman Schultz (1931 – February 21, 2025) was an American Diné (Navajo) weaver. She was known for her Navajo rugs and had been an active weaver from the 1950s until the 2020s. Gorman Schultz also dyed her own wool in natural colors, shorn from Churro sheep. Gorman Schultz was the second of five children, and learned weaving from her mother Jasbah (Mary) Gorman Clay at age eight. As a child, she herded sheep and had planned to attend Leupp Boarding School prior to its closure in 1942.

Gorman Schultz died on February 21, 2025, at the age of 93.

She continued to weave into her later years, making pieces until at least 2018.
