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!

SAORI knitting bag pin and...

I have a lot of small woven pieces that were left over from making clothing items.

I didn't threw them away. I kept them.

I'm finally using them in a good way!

I am making "SAORI knitting bag pins" and "SAORI magnet sets".

They are now available at Minnesota Textile Center.

I feel so good using those left over small woven pieces.

I am sure those pieces are happy to be something, too!

I know people in the U.S LOVES MAGNETS.

That's why I decided make magnets also using left over woven pieces.

What do you think about them?

Aren't they cute?
