More on Summer Events and Activities

In addiiton to the June Summer Sewing Class, I have been working on several tallit commissions. One is a handspun, handwoven superwash merino tallit, and the other is a honey colored tencel tallit with very victorian colors. Here is a pic of one of the tallit warps. Our son, the marine, and his buddies have been home many weekends, and I've been teaching at Bay School of the Arts. We are working on expanding their fiber program to include regular weaving classes, and to really promote my fiber classes there. Let's see If I can post a couple of pics of our first weaving class down there. We had a two day 'Beginning Weaving" class this past week, using rigid heddle looms. In that process, I discovered that 75% of the class had their own looms, and they wanted something ongoing. Another 'regular' at the center came in, and said that he is interested in a weaving class also. So it looks like we may be off to a fair start.

Pictures of the Purses, Pouches and Pocketbooks class

As you know, I taught a felting class in Mathews, Virginia on making handfelted purses.
The class was offered as a parent/child class and it was largely teens/tweens and their moms and grandmoms.
We had a lot of fun and the felted results were good. Plus, we all got to work together to produce fun and lovely things.
Have a look at the pics.
