Today I started doing the preparations for the two classes for School of Sweet Georgia.
I am a wee bit nervous about doing these in part because we will be interleaving the topics in order to reduce camera changes. But my brain fog seems to be lifting and I was able to think through the topics, set up the trouble shooting section, get the smaller loom dressed for the lace weave class, and didnรขโฌ™t feel overwhelmed in spite of not being in my own studio.
I have the รขโฌหluxuryรขโฌ™ of taking two days to complete the preparations so when I got tired and started hurting, I stopped for the day. Tomorrow I will finish setting up for the lace pick up, then sort through my teaching aids, organize my samples. While I donรขโฌ™t have a lot of samples, I do have some nice ones.
Getting the looms ready is the most time consuming, so I was glad to get that done and out of the way.
I also have firm dates for when they will launch now, and once home I will generate the supporting documentation for the SOS website, which is a comfortable schedule.
Filming will happen over three days, again a comfortable pace.
I am grateful to work with an enthusiastic crew who responds when I express concerns, or just ask for additional assistance with supplying what I need. I enjoy the forums and being able to answer questions as they arise.
Covid isnรขโฌ™t over and being able to teach in person is no longer on my radar, although I may do a very small beginning to weave for my local guild if everyone wears a mask. We have had requests and no one seems confident enough to do it. I got tossed into the deep end and that isnรขโฌ™t always the best approach because not everyone can swim. When I get home I will talk to the new workshop person and the treasurer and see what they say. Tonight I am putting my feet up and maybe will hem a couple more towels
