Events:
We learn from each other and everyone in the group
Weavers of all ages share ideas and weaving inspiration
Cloth on the Loom:
Finger Fringe!
A fun way to start or end a warp. Finger fringe can then be used in the final design for fun and interesting designs.
Fun supplemental warp
I used some of the supplemental warp as inlay before turning it back to become warp again.
That’s an earring!
This student wove several pieces of old jewelry into her cloth. Later she made a top! Totally cool!
Accessories:
Dina’s SAORI tote bag
This wonderful tote is fully lined and features both a zippered pocket and a drop-in pocket. This was made at a Bag Workshop held at the studio.
Janelle’s SAORI bag
Students in the Bag Workshop bring their own hand-woven cloth and some commercial cloth for the lining, and they learn to make totally awesome bags based on the size of their cloth!
Debbie’s Red SAORI Tote
I love everything about this tote! The back story: two friends scheduled a multi-day intensive and as a part of it asked for a Bag Workshop. Perfect reminder of a great weekend!
Cross body bag with flap closure
Features hand-woven and commercial-woven cloth to make the outer shell.
Fun and Funky Hat in Black
I love making hats! Hiromi taught me several nifty patterns on one of my trips to Japan. These are so much fun to make, and I teach three of them in the Hats Workshop.
Draped Tunic
Deep rich fall colors, the tunic also features handspun yarn by Esther Rodgers, Denise, and others.
Handkerchief-Hem Skirt
Handkerchief hem skirt made from two different lengths of cloth: one white warp, one black warp. Both used the same seven colorways of Noro yarn.
Bias Skirt
The remnants of a length of cloth from organic cotton ready-made warp. Fun cotton lace and high-low hem.
Orange Vest (Front)
The warp was a white cotton ready-made. The weft was predominately Bri-Aly cotton (the ombre orange) with bits of other cotton, Tencel, fun-fur, etc.
Orange Vest (Back)
The green rope accent serves a function to keep the vest on the shoulders. The color progression of the Bri-Aly threads is kept across the back and added detail and room is achieved with the box pleats.
Miscellaneous:
SAORI Woven Valance
Two-color interlocking with long side fringe. This was supposed to be a valance for my family room windows. Better use: the valance/skirt on my checkout stand at shows!
