Little Wren, Big City..

Yesterday I had the honor of teaching a companion class at the

David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh during the 

American Association of Woodturners convention.

The companion classes were hosted by the lovely 

Society for Contemporary Craft for folks who were attending

the convention that were 'non-turners' of wood.

I ended up taking the long way around to the craft room

and stumbled on some beautiful roof top green spaces.

We had a wonderful time weaving some mug-rugs

with my  'Found Object Kits'.

Thank you ladies for a most wonderful afternoon!

Safe travels to all who were visiting from out of town!

Wishing you many more happy 

weaving projects..

Infinite Nature

 "I thank you God for this most amazing day, 

for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, 

and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, 

which is infinite, which is yes." 

~e.e. Cummings

Yesterday I had the honor of teaching a natural dye class

 at the beautiful Winnie Palmer Nature Center.

The display table of natural dyed samples for the students.

Lots of mixing, dipping, stirring, rinsing..

more rinsing...

and 

we did it..

.. a rainbow of colors..

There were rockets.

Literally.

It was the airshow and the Blue Angels flew over head.

Thank you ladies for a most amazing day.

May your spirits leap and soar as you continue to find rainbows.

Weave all the things...

This past weekend I spent two days at the Society for Contemporary Craft 

teaching a DIY weaving workshop.

We made picture frame looms and created a custom wall hanging.

Students learned some basic tapestry stitches and how to 

source and use reclaimed fibers.

So. Much. Fun!!!

A few samples of their gorgeous weaving..

a fun and inspiring weekend!

Keep on weaving...!!
