Up and Running
In between preparing for classes, trying to weave or at least do something productive in the studio each day, running back and forth trying to get the new cpu on line…it’s been a week. However, here she is! Thank you to those folk who helped by contributing my my ko-fi account. I bought my first…

Teaching
Teaching, talking, sharing. This class is from a few years ago, but I’m still talking. Last weekend there were six, this weekend 5, all great folk, willing to laugh, not take themselves too seriously, but seriously interested in learning about weaving.

New weavers want to have perfect results…

Growing Community
I have been weaving for long enough now to see interest in learning how to weave wax and wane. It would seem that right now the interest in weaving is on the upswing. At least locally. But I have also seen growth in wanting to learn on the internet as well, so I don’t think…

Resources
A few years ago (quite a few now) a scholarly publication called Ars Textrina was produced in which articles about textiles were offered. It was a Canadian publication through the University of Manitoba and in spite of the price being in US dollars (with a really horrendous exchange rate) I made the point of buying…

Looking Ahead
Yesterday I agreed to teach Level Four and Two at Cape Breton the end of April, beginning of May. It is a great privilege for me to see the group that I taught level one and two to now reaching their level four. It feels like a nice way to wrap up the cycle. Level…
