Tommye and Pat had a special treat lined up for us---John and Joy Moss, makers of the "Brassy Bob" tapestry bobbins. John and Joy brought their beautiful special bobbins and left plenty that we could sample and purchase if we chose. I am still happily remembering a terrific tapestry workshop.

I want to help keep this going and look forward to another post from some of you. Here is a detail of the finishing technique that Pat demoed. It is a detail of cutting every other warp thread short and weaving its alternated back into the tapestry. I hope this is a useful photo.

WooHoo. THREE signed up already!!

FYI:  The Studio Workshop: Weaving On Your Own With A Little Help has 3 sign-ups already!! This is Terrific good news because it's so much fun to get together.

Weaving On Your Own With A Little Help

All Day Saturday, Feb 12, 2011, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tommye and I are offering a workshop for polishing and expanding techniques approached in the Camp Mikell workshop in late October. We need a minimum number of 4 people (maximum of 6), and the fee (including yarn) would be $105. Our goal is to problem-solve and reach a comfort zone with designing & weaving tapestry. Individual attention for each person is emphasized. Please note in an email what you’d like to study to either Pat (patwilli@gmail.com) or Tommye (tmscanlin@mac.com); OR, we will be glad to design a set of tasks for the day.

We ask that everyone bring their own bag lunch so that any special requirements can be taken care of by each person. There will be cokes, decent water, coffee, tea, and so on. If you need to come the night before, we can discuss that via private email.

I live at 319 Hollywood Hwy in Clarkesville, in bee-yew-tee-full NE Georgia. [You could google-map it!] In February it's still probably going to be cold, but there's a fireplace in the studio if it's chilly enough, a walking trail, great chickens, and the dogs will let you scratch behind their ears to your heart's content.    Pat Williams 

October 28-31, 2010 was indeed a time of tapestry magic at Camp Mikell near Toccoa, GA. In addition to eight members of the Chattahoochee Handweavers Guild, there were seven attendess from as far away as Illinois, Ohio, North Carolina, Florida. It was a delightful and compatible group. We had a wonderful time weaving and sharing. I want to post a few pictures to share as well.

Class made; a few spaces open

I emailed with Pat Williams yesterday. The class that she and Tommye are teaching this October at Camp Mekell is a go with a couple of spaces remaining. Should be loads of fun and I have heard that the food is wonderful. If you are interested but were unsure if you could attend, but now know that you can be there, contact Pat or Tommye to see if the spaces are still available.
