Shepherd's Harvest

Minnesota's Sheep and Wool Festival will be held on Mother's Day weekend.
This it will be May 8 and 9 at Washington Country Fairground.

We will be there as vendors and instructors.
We are teaching two classes; one on Saturday and one on Sunday.
I have just checked the festival website and both classes are already full.

Thank you!!

For those who were going to sign up but found out that it is already full, please contact us and come to our studio in Chaska.

If you have several more than 5 people and a place for us to bring looms, we are offering off-site classes, too.
Please contact us for details.
We are happy to travel in the Twin Cities area.

Anyway, it makes me happy to see that the classes are both full already.
Now, I need to focus on making items for sale.

I will bring something new this year.
We are there to offer you to try weaving at the booth, too.
Make sure you stop by at our booth and say "Hi".

While I was in Japan...

While I was in Japan, I rented one of my looms to a couple of students.

One of them, Y made several scarves for her relatives in two weeks!

Here are some of them.

I like how she put black.

We met last summer in August at the Japanese Festival in St. Paul.

I was having a booth and was demonstrating SAORI.

She started coming to my studio right away and now she brings her friend, too.

She is very different from me in a way, so I can learn a lot from her.

She is more picky in a sense (good way of course)and I am NOT. (If you know me well, I can see you nodding.)

That's why I can learn from her.

It is interesting!!

She now keeps one of my looms at home and keeps weaving at home, too because she has many people she would like to give away her scarves in this holiday season.

I know she is now working on a scarf for her sister in Japan.

I am looking forward to seeing it when she comes this week!

Happy Weaving!
