09/09/2004: "fun classes and a new website..."


i am signed up to take 2 classes this fall and i can't wait! First is Explorations in Card Weaving. this one is being taught by one of our Textile Mobile teachers through the Weavers Guild of MN. there are a couple of other classes i would like to take (like beginning Inkle weaving) but i am teaching another class at the same time that is going on. Next is Sensational Shibori. shibori is a Japanese dying technique. for anyone who is interested in the classes being offered this fall at the TCM, there is an open house/demo day this saturday from 12-4. i also had a great chat with the manager of the tcm shop about packaging the stuff that i sell at shows. he told me about clearbags.com which sells all kinds of packaging materials (bags, boxes, envelopes...) so i am now re-inventing my kids craft kits. everyone says these are a great idea, but they haven't sold as well as i would like.

I think "Everything on a Waffle" was one of your picks of the week, just finished, loved it.
Have you read "Fair Weather" by Richard Peck?
