Classes this fall

Hi, If you are still following this blog, instead of Wordpress, I'm posting information on my fall classes. The classes and workshops are posted on my website:
http://www.cherrihankins.com on the instruction page. You need to click the link on that page for classes and workshops. There are classes on weaving, and felting and a very few on spinning.
If you are interested in learning to spin, I will take spinning students on an individual basis for private lessons, or on Sunday afternoons with my regular weaving class, or we can try to get a class together of 3-5 students, and hold the class on a day and time that we find our schedules mesh. I teach weaving at my Glen Allen studio, which you can book through me, or through the Glen Allen Cultural Arts center. I also teach weaving at my Roseneath Rd studio in Richmond, and at the Visual Arts Center in Richmond. You will also find that I offer some weaving classes in Orange, VA, and Mathews, Va at the Arts Center in Orange, and Bay School of the Arts.
Felting classes and workshops are available through The Cultural Arts center at Glen allen, and Visual Arts center of Richmond as well as Bay School of the Arts in Mathews, va.
I do have an embroidery class in Mathews also.
If you have questions, or see a class you are interested in, but it's not in your area, e-mail, or call me, and we will try to put a class together to accomodate your needs.

Please check out my youtube videos on the fiber arts. My username is Maidensweaver and you can see my youtube page at

Oh, My! How's your mental acuity?

I'm reading a great book right now by John Medina. It's called "Brain Rules".
It deals with boosting mental acuity, and maximizing your own use of your brain. It's a users manual for your brain.
I owned Mac computers for 17 years before I heard of Procare, or ONe-to-one, which is Apple's personal training for Mac users. I have learned more in one year of personal training than I ever learned in the previous 17.
I didn't turbo charge my Mac, I simply learned how to use that turbo charged machine, and that's what Medina's book is like. It teaches you the proper care and feeding of your brain, then teaches you how to train it and use it.
Check it out when you get a chance. it comes with a DVD. I don't own any stock in, nor do I gain in any way financially by my endorsement of this book. I'm just so pleased with a good thing, that I want to share it.
