On Line Resources
I don’t ‘do’ resolutions for the coming new year, but thought I would share some on line resources for people who want to increase their knowledge in the coming year. As some of you know, I have been weaving samples for Tien Chiu’s on line course on colour for weavers. She has launched her first…

Conference Bustle

As we continue to work on the conference I have had time to think about this community of textile creators. One of the things that appeals about conferences is the opportunity to meet other like minded people in real life. To have actual conversations as we fondle each others cloth. Exchange the ‘weaver’s handshake’ (gently…

Choose One Thing
This summer has been challenging for a long list of reasons. We have been dealing with daily smoke, better or worse, for going on two weeks. I rather suspect that the smoke is getting to everyone.
