Before we begin our season of classes on Saturday, May 26 and welcome the first of our students and instructor Susan Frame to teach Beginning Weaving, it seemed like time to share more photos of spring on Washington Island. With the Beginning Weaving class and all the others that will follow this year, we’ll have many photos to share telling the Sievers story. Today, it’s a story in photos of our home and the simple, quiet beauty that can be found on Washington Island.
Looking back to the opening sentences from the first year Sievers brochure (1979) we read, “For those of you who have visited Door County in Wisconsin we need not tell you about the exhilarating beauty of the area. Washington Island, we think, is the best…it is ‘beyond the tension line’…remote and rustic. The Island is rural, refreshing, washed by the clean, cool air of Lake Michigan. This provides an excellent setting for our school. It is an ideal place to combine the pleasure of learning while relaxing.”
True in 1979 and true today, “We will be waiting for you”.
Looking forward to my time on the island.
You make it special for us, too, Donna! See you in September…another great time of year.
Oh, what a terrific way to start, Carolyn. The photos are fabulous. The words are lovely and meaningful. And my memories of the island are flowing. We always enjoyed ourselves there so much. And of course, a class at Sievers could not be beat. I hope you have a great season. Best to you all. Enjoy.
Thanks, Mary for your kind words. It’s so nice to stay in touch with you this way. Take good care!
I have been to Washington Island a few times, but I am so incredibly excited for my first time at Sievers in July!! These pictures definitely get me in the mood for learning and relaxing! Thankful to Lynn Schuster for letting me know about all of the wonderful opportunities you offer!
Happy SPRING!
We look forward to having you in class! Lynn is a great Sievers ambassador and friend. See you soon!
Oh, how I’d love to come back to Sievers for more weaving fun…some day, some day. Until then, I’ll just have to devour the postings you send along all season. Love seeing what others are creating and all the lovely sights of Washington Island. Have a great season. May you all stay safe and well and of course enjoy each and every day!
Thank you, Sally! We would love to have you back. Thanks for keeping in touch through our Sievers news. Our best to you.
ALWAYS love the pictures!
See you in a few weeks.
Blessings
Eileen
Thank you! See you soon, Eileen.
There is something special about an island. . . .
From one island to another…thanks!
Can’t wait to get there! A week on Washington Island is like a good chiropractic adjustment, followed by a wonderful massage. Everything feels better!
Love this! See you very soon…tomorrow?
