Workshop for Suffolk Art League, Suffolk County School and Virginia Museum

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to do a Rigid Heddle Workshop for Suffolk County School. It was wonderful. 20 student, 10 looms and 6 hours of fun. If you would like to see pictures, please click the link below.

It would be fun to teach workshops as I work my way across the country on my bike;0)
John will ship the workshop equipment and materials.
Any takers?

Studio closing- temporarily

Word does seem to have gotten out. Yes, the studio is closing, but the plan is to close from 3/31/2011 and re-open on 4/1/2012. I’m taking a year to cycle 15,000 miles or so around the U.S. including Alaska, and can’t keep the studio open during that time. It’s been so much fun acquiring my equipment, that I want to do it all again upon my return, so what I have is or will be for sale.

The studio needs to continue to pay for itself until the lease is up  at the end of March, so people are viewing, and making deposits on their equipment or buying it and leaving it until the end of  March.
