It was in 2012 that I started to weave some fabric for our dining room chairs (I didn’t know how long it had been so I looked up my post here!). I used cottolin – a blend of cotton and linen for the weaving and colours that are in our living/dining room. My original thought […]
A while ago, Willow asked me to make a yellow warp for her to weave a small mat with denim strips that she had been cutting up… She came and wove the mat and it turned out really well… And, there was some warp left and so she came back to weave some […]
With much anticipation and excitement, the Loom Dancer Weaving Odyssey on Salt Spring is now in full swing. Today is Salt Spring Market day and so all are off for a day of visiting artists and farmers at the market. We’ve done so much already, starting with a tour of the SAORI Salt Spring studio […]
This month is wonderfully busy with SAORI weaving – classes, workshops, retreats and Zen Weaving Days. I just thought I’d share a few photos of warps and weavings being created lately – with many more to come! I think the photos will say it all… This week is also the 2014 SAORI International Conference […]
HAPPY CANADA DAY! I thought that this story would be a good celebration of Canada Day. It is a story of Coast-to-Coast SAORI connections. It also has a connection to Peachtree City, Georgia – as that is where the 2014 SAORI Conference is being held this month! Susan Forsberg writes: There is a SAORI Weaving […]
I was invited to share two SAORI workshops at Citizen Clothing in Victoria once again. I loaded up the van with 6 looms, yarn, roving, treasure, chairs, shuttles and all the rest…. and headed to Victoria. On Saturday we had a SAORI Kai at Knotty by Nature (more on that in another post) and then […]
Two weeks in Japan! Two weeks of SAORI inspiration! Two weeks with my friend Laura (of SAORI Studio LA)! What a wonderful time I had. I have been trying for 4 years to get back to Japan and I finally made it. So much fun, so much SAORI – but I wish I could have […]
I am currently in Japan for 2 weeks of SAORI inspiration. I will post photos when I’m home, but in the meantime you can see some images on my Facebook page – www.Facebook.com/saorisaltspring. (Note: you don’t have to sign in or be part of FB to see the images.) Happy weaving Terri
Spring is here on the island, the daffodils and blossom trees are out and blooming. Hurrah! It also is the time that things get busier here on the island and at the studio. Retreat season, visitors, classes & workshops, festivals, oh my! I love it 🙂 This past month we were on a couple of […]
Last fall, Tara was asked to do a commission weaving for a Pentecostal Liturgical Stole. There were some sizes given (width, length, etc.) as well as preferred colours and style and the rest was up to Tara. Tara worked on this at the studio over many weeks – setting up the warp, choosing colours […]
