Additional Highlights

A first time student to the tapestry class wrote,

"Thanks for the class. It was probably the most fun (and most creative) thing I've done in several years, even though my output was not impressive."

And in fact her output was most impressive and well done. This is just one example from a group of students who are learning a fascinating traditional and historic hand weaving technique and finding great creative, artistic, and personal satisfaction with the results of this concentrated process.
