As winter finally shapes up the days are glorious. Winter is so wonderful here in Old Bar. Usually the sun shines clear, unimpeded by clouds or rain with a warmth that makes everyone smile and walk with that hopeful step of the pure joy of being alive. Sometimes with days like these, I can, just for a moment, imagine there is no hardship, wars, angry people or sickness.

These sun soaked days are leading to more local interest in weaving textiles. Textiles that capture the organic and changeable beauty of the local environment. Studio days are filling up so a photo montage of happenings is apt at the moment. I’m totally impressed by the way some brand new weavers are approaching weave. You can see their heart, thinking and even their experiences  manifested in how they weave, what colours they choose, even how they place each row.
