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..

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..

Thanks to the amazing students who joined me for 

a fun and inspiring weekend!

Keep on weaving...!!

Out of Hand..

Many thanks to those who stopped by last

night to say hello during the 

Out of Hand

benefit gala at the Society for Contemporary Craft.

The event was AMAZING and I was

truly honored to be a part of it.

My demonstration station was weaving 

with reclaimed fiber on the Saori loom..

..along with artisans creating

handmade paper, wood turning, and metal enamel activities.

The view from the loom:

A beautiful insulation from Jenny Soracco, the current 

Studio Education Apprentice at the 

Society for Contemporary Craft.

She also has beautiful jewelry available in her Etsy Shop.

Next stop.. 

unload the car and get the cowl off the loom!
