SAORI class @Weavers Guild of Minnesota





I don't even remember how many years it has been since Dan and I taught a SAORI class at the Weavers Guild of Minnesota last time.
We were just the guest instructors at that time, but now I am a "Weavers Guild instructor".
Since it has been such a long time since the last class and SAORI is still new to this country, so the class was a series of "Try-It" class.
Though, there were a couple of people who came to the studio last year and a lady who is an active member? of the guild so I remember....
Anyway, it was a comfortable and fun class.
They were exchange ideas as they weave and I wasn't the one helping when they had problems.
Elizabeth who is a rigid heddle instructor/weaver and SAORI weaver assisted me a whole class and she knows a lot about other styles of weaving, so I learned a lot about them from her.
Thank you, Elizabeth!!
The above are some of the pieces they created yesterday for 4-5 hours.
I enjoyed the SAORI community yesterday. Thank you!

I was a vendor at Mill City Farmers Market in Minneapolis last Saturday through Weavers Guild of Minnesota.
Mill City Times (it's their neighborhood information blog) interviewed me and here it is!!
I am featured!!
Unfortunately, last Saturday was my first time having a booth this season and also the last time this season.....
I will see everyone next season!
I will visit the market as a customer the rest of the season.
It's a lovely market.
It's just a little far away to get there....oh, well.
Happy Weaving!!

More bags!!



Here are some latest SAORI bags I made!!
Now, I have a room that is not organized yet, but I have been enjoying being the room making these bags!!
I sometimes think I should organize the room first, but it's so fun making bags even though I still make mistakes.
I hope you like them.
They will be at Mill City Farmers Market (in Minneapolis) on July 9th!
Happy Weaving and Sewing!!
