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!

Weavers Guild of Minnesota

I have been asked to be a Weavers Guild of Minnesota Instructor of course, a SAORI instructor.
I said "YES" right away!
The educational coordinator there would like to bring something "NEW".
Yes, SAORI is still "NEW" in the U.S.

It is still hard to find a place to learn SAORI in this country.
Actually this afternoon a lady is coming all the way from Iowa to learn SAORI.

Dan and I taught a workshop at the Weavers Guild a few years back.
I believe/hope more people now know about SAORI.
So, I hope many people sign up!

First, early in the summer we would like to offer one class through their series of class called "Try It".
Then, later in the summer, we would like to do classes that people complete one project.
It would be 3-4 days class.
I haven't done this kind of classes, so I am a little concern, but I just need to try to find out, don't I?
Just like SAORI, just try it!

Anyway, I am so excited about this offer. Thank you for this opportunity Linda!
