No Anonymous Characters
Ok! Another wonderful weekend Saori workshop with a great group, weaver houseguests, sunny warm days, warp rescues, beach magic and cake! What more could anyone ask for in life.

Saori Winter @ Sturt
What a special experience it was teaching at Sturt Contemporary Craft and Design School – Winter program. A five day program with eight weavers exposed to Saori style weaving and a variety of different looms. Once again considering that the warps were all the same, each cloth was utterly different reflecting its creator and often what they…

Scone Saori
My most recent Saori gig was at Scone in the Upper Hunter valley. The scenery and trip to Scone from Old Bar was simply amazing. What a wonderful environment we live in. The Australian landscape has something that seeps into and under your skin. Very different to European scenes but one that totally takes over…

Benevolent weaving
Another fantastic workshop with a corporate group, now named the Benevolent (Society) Weavers. Every member of the group was brand new to weaving and you can see their diversity of styles and approaches straight up. The other amazing thing was the amount of yardage they wove in only a few hours. Not that it’s a…

Weaving in Paradise…again
Another workshop in Paradise. I suppose dear readers that it becomes monotonous hearing about the wonders of weaving in my Old Bar studio workshops, but I can only, once again, yell ‘WOW’. With only 4 weavers, this intimate workshop provided a space for great diversity of technique, styles and colours. In fact it was quite…
