 In 6 weeks from today will be the last weaving workshop for the year. Imagine spending a day surrounded by fibers of all types and being able to include them into your masterpiece of a weaving. 

Well here's your last chance this year to take a workshop with myself, Judy Irene Harney and learn 7-8 weaving techniques to create a variety of textures that will be sure to attract attention.  

There are workshops on Thursday and Friday with the Festival in the park on Saturday and Sunday. So much to do in so little time. Heres the link to check out the workshop listings and nab a space in any of 17 workshops ranging from spinning, weaving, felting and so much more. 

If you are in the Santa Fe area on the following Sundays and Wednesday, stop by the Santa Fe Rail yard Farmers/Artisan market to check out the woven Wall hangings to purchase or check out if these woven wall hangings are something you'll like to learn.

Organic Woven Circle MAGIC

What a fantastic weaving adventures at Sew to Speak & Yarn shoppe while a bustling saturday's Farmers Market shared the streets.  Lunch was a little piece of pasterie heaven. As promised a little sneak peek of our group photo at the end of the day.  

The day was filled with yummy textures of various weaving methods such as plain weave, soumak weave, basket weave and rya knots.  

Sew to Speak & Yarn Shoppe resides at the old Worthington Library building.

Ohio workshop starts soon!

Countdown commences... 90 minutes till Fiber Fun with Circles begins

The days leading up to Woven Textures with Circles has been slow and chaotic.  Running here and there from a 2 day trip to upstate New York for the 50th Anniversary of the National Technical Institute for the Deaf at Rochester Institute of Technology and back to central ohio would have you whirling around with a dizzy state of mind like mine.  

Whoa..  It was lovely seeing my works on the walls at Dyer Arts Gallery and now soon will start the 2nd weaving workshop in Ohio within a year in Old Worthington Village at the loveliest shop Sew to Speak & Yarn.  So excited and can't wait to share the love of weaving.  WEaving with a circle loom is somewhat different and I've taught young students at age 6 to weave with circles so it'll be a nice changeup.  

See ya all back here within 24 hours with the deets on the results of the workshop.  Can't wait to see how these talented individuals take on circle weaving with TONS of textures.  

NEXT WEEKEND! Wanna play with yarn & circles?
