We set aside this photo of a rainbow taken in early summer just to mark the occasion of two of our most recent classes, Beginning Spinning and Rainbow Dyeing with Deb Jones and Weaving the Rainbow with Judith Yamamoto.
A real rainbow is always a treat and so were the rainbow of colors in the studios, as was the work students did in class.
It’s been a few years since we’ve had a Beginning Spinning and Rainbow Dyeing class in session, making it especially exciting to see new and beyond beginning students learn the art of spinning and hear the the soft click of the wheels at the start of the day!
Spinning, dyeing, carding, blending and plying were all part of the actual class, but it’s the many extras instructors add (including Deb and Judie) that make for a truly memorable experience. We are grateful for all our teachers who bring people together by sharing their time outside classroom hours.
Weaving the Rainbow is a class that combines color theory with how it applies to weaving. Judie’s skill and experience shines through in her use of color in weaving (and in the other fiber arts she enjoys). In class, students wove color samplers, completed weaving challenges, analyzed color interactions and filled the room with rainbows.
It was a great week for a “rainbow connection”!
Beautiful work – can’t wait for basket class next week!
Hi Colleen,
We can’t wait to see you either! It will be a great week – it always is when Jeanette is here along with our favorite basket friends!
See you soon,
