Satellite Launch!
Got word yesterday that the satellite weaving program has been approved for Prince George, BC May 21-26, 2016. Registration will begin in the new year, perhaps as soon as the end of the first full week of the new school year (January 8 or so). Class will begin on the Saturday morning, run through the…

But the ‘recovery’ shawls are now officially done. They were a nice gentle re-introduction into weaving and served…

Proof of Progress
Colours aren’t quite accurate here – they should be more green-ish. But here it is – about 28 tea towels all in a roll. I cut the warp off this afternoon and began cutting them apart and serging them. Doug will go pressing on Sunday and then I will have lots of hemming to be…

Spring Flowers..and a trial balloon
We had a huge thunder/lightning storm last night. Cracks of lightning felt like they were directly overhead – close enough the house shook from the special effects.

Olds Textile Program – Toby Smith
Thinking about doing the Olds Master Weaver Program? As I am a student in the Olds College Master Weaver Program, others who are thinking of doing it ask me what it is like. I can only speak for myself. I have been a life-long learner, by nature and by profession. If you are thinking of…
