SAORI weaving camp

Last Tue. & Wed. I had 3 girls plus 1 boy(he joined us Wed.) for SAORI weaving camp.

I know all of the children because they go to the school where I used to work.

One of the girls came to weave last fall for her firend's birthday party. Since then, she kept telling her mom "I want to weave" "I had a dream of myself weaving"etc...

Whenever I saw her mom, she used to tell me about her daughter wanting to weave.

Finally, she came with her friends. "My dream finally came true!"

For the other girls, it was their first time to weave. As usual, children are such a quick learners.

Soon, I heard them saying, "It's easy" "It's cool!".

They were all quiet. I only heard the shuttles are going back and forth.

I was able to observe them and weave myself.

"Feel this, Chiaki!" "I made this color!". Their smile faces..

At the end of the first day, one of them found a SAORI dog I made.

"Can I make this tomorrow?"

So, we did at the end of the second day. Look, aren't they cute?

They enjoyed two mornings of weaving with colors and texture.

The girl who wove for the second time, she has three brothers. One of them joined us the second day, but the other didn't and asked their mom, "We want to weave! Can we?"

So, the mom scheduled to come to weave with all her children and herself.

It will be fun!

Later, one of the girls gave me a "thank you" message on a stone so sweet.

Let's be in touch.
