After a weekend making a bent willow chair with Ken Workowski or a week learning the characteristics of deflected double weave with Judith Yamamoto, each student certainly deserved to sit back and relax, perhaps even in a chair made by their own hand!
The chair frames were together by the end of the afternoon, just a few hours into class. Bending and placing the arms and backs took another complete day. Students in the Deflected Double Weave class shared samples of their weaving and the accompanying drafts with each other.
When class is done, why not sit back, relax and put your feet up?
The fall colors on Washington Island are just starting and we’re looking forward to seeing and sharing them in full in the next few weeks.
I’m sure you have so many wonderful memories of this season of classes. And along with that must come a bit of sadness that it’s over. But think of the people you helped to find their creativity! As Cindra taught us….once you’ve been to the Island, you will never be the same! Congratulations on another season of success!
Hi Karen, we’re actually not done yet! We still have a woodcarving class, natural dyeing and two weaving classes to go before we finish the season on October 22. So, we get to look back and look forward to a bit more! Take care, Carolyn
What an inspirational week with fellow artists! I am so grateful for the opportunity to come to this sanctuary each season. Thank you!
Thank you, Julia! It’s great to have you here and we’ll look forward to next time.
