 | After retiring in 2004 I began weaving. Beginning with a
basketry kit I bought at Sutter's Fort in Sacramento. The woman
behind the kit, Cat Mena www.catmena.com
offers monthly basketry workshops in Grass Valley, CA. They're lots
of fun. Her website gives info and pictures. You can email her
from there. |
| I currently belong to Bay Area
Basket Makers, which is a delightfully fun group with ongoing
activities and lots of members available to help the newbie's! |
| Soon I added loom weaving, making tapestries, then cloth, blankets,
etc. Then back to baskets. Now I do all of it. I make blankets
on my 46" Gilmore 8 shaft floor loom. I weave tapestries on my lap
loom, and I weave baskets. Mostly tiny waxed linen baskets. |
| For information about weaving, weaving groups, conferences, classes
and workshops contact www.CNCH.org
A great group of people (mostly women) who love to weave, spin, dye and felt!
Many of us also knit or crochet. |
| I currently take a hand-weaving class through Pleasant Hill Adult
Education. You can contact them at
www.mdusd.k12.ca.us/schools/middle/pleasanthillms.htm
and click the down arrow under "school type" to select Adult Ed. The
weaving classes are under "Home Economics". |
| The instructor, Patricia Johnson is an excellent
teacher and a very knowledgeable weaver. If she doesn't have a
solution for your weaving problems, no one does!
