Bob Lansing was blessed at age 15 with a life devoted to creating sacred vessels. Handed down from his father, Dan Handy Lansing, a Navajo Healer of Minds, and his mother Helen Benally Lansing, a weaver of fine Navajo rugs, this blessing has manifested in the creation of vessels that hold the whole of Lansing's Navajo heritage in their rich southwestern tones and amazingly fine carving.
