Last week I enjoyed a wonderful weave along and slide show workshop on the zoom platform from the Sustaining Scandinavian Folk Arts department at the University of Wisconsin.
The presenter was Laura Demuth. She was a lovely presenter- gracious and so well informed!
I am still swooning about the beautiful textiles that she showed slides of…. Scandianvian weaving is glorious!
I was delighted that the workshop participants were sent a sweet little loom from Hello!Loom.
When mine arrived in the mail, the first thing I did was to weave a little dress for tiny Willow, a doll that I carved a few months ago.
I started weaving the lady with flowers tapestry during the presentation as Laura demonstrated common motifs used in Scandinavian weaving. I finished the tiny tapestry the next day.
It was a lovely event and my thanks to all the people who worked so hard to make it happen!
