SAORI Studio "FUN" Get Together

I am happy to announce that Dan and I are organizing the very first SAORI Weaving Studio "FUN" Get Together this coming Saturday at the studio!

I know everyone who comes to weave, but many people including Dan who enjoys SAORI here don't know much about other people who are also enjoying SAORI.

It was my dream to organize one.
I finally found a Saturday to do this!!

We are going to get to know each other, exchange opinions/ideas about SAORI and providing information.....
If some of them bring their project (I informed to bring some if they have ones) that doesn't have to be SAORI, we can do "show and tell".

Dan and I would love to hear what everyone are thinking about SAORI.
This would be a good learning session for us as instructors.

Looking forward to seeing you!!

4 harnesses loom and....

I finally started working on a 4 harness loom!!
Yes, SAORI makes 4 haness looms, too. I have the attachment to make it a 4 harness loom.
One SAORI 60 (not foldable one) is now a 4 harness loom!
I have only done a little bit so far. The big difference is that you have to move your feet A LOT!!
I need to get used to it, but it's FUN!

Marie who visited us last month gave us a quick workshop of two color-interlocking warp and circular warp.
I am liking the interlocking warp a lot! I have done it long time ago, so I forgot about it.
Thank you to Marie who was willing to show us.
I am doing it before I forget again....
If you would like to learn about two colors interlocking warp, I will show you how!!

Now, all the trees are so beautiful.
That inspired me to weave one banner.
The trees have been inspiring me a lot, but I am not able to catching up.....

I now focus on making items for "Winter Gift Shows".
Texitile Center gift shop, Minnetonka Art Center, Weavers Guild Fiber Fair (Nov. 12-14)

Next year, there are three shows planned.
One of them is going to be a SAORI Studio "FUN" show at a clinic in Minneapolis.
Yes, this is for everyone who is interested in participating.
You have plenty of time!!

Happy Weaving!
