Being here...

One of the member is a rigid heddle instructor.

She also is a school teacher, so it is hard for her to come to the studio to weave with us regularlly.

Though because it's summer, she comes to the studio every week with her "Fiber hooked" daughter.

They share a SAORI loom.

They weave, spin, kinit.... and are FUN!

Yesterday, she made a warp for warp exchange we are going to do at the end of this month.

She seemed satisfied finishing the warp.

She took out her drop spindle and started spinning.

I asked her if she would like to weave because there are empty looms.

She told me "No, thank you. Being in this room is learning and makes me happy."

I couldn't say anything.

She is right.

She made me happy again.....

SAORI Summer Camp 2011

I had a couple of girls this week for SAORI Weaving Summer Camp.

One of them ("A") came back for her second Summer Camp this summer.

She came last month for the first time with her friend and came back this week with her new friend.

It was fun to observe them.

"A" is 7 years old and the other is 12 years old.

"A" was telling her friend, "It is fun, isn't it? You can do whatever you want!".

Yes, that's is right!

"A" had a very different attitude than when she came last time with her friend who was the same age with her.

"A" was asking her older friend her color choices a lot.

In the other hand, this older friend was inspired by "A"s mix color technique(?).

Maybe "A" thinks her older friend is her sister?

I had a good time with them and they did a superb job!!

Hope to see them again.
