Remote Teaching
Teaser… Yesterday I finished weaving the samples for the next article for WEFT. No, I’m not going to explain this photo – it’s a teaser. I don’t know if the photos I took are good enough, but I needed to have photos to show what I was going to attempt to explain using words. …

Better Questions
