This past weekend I was set up at Tamarack in Beckley WV where I am a juried artisan. It was so great to see so many people and to share my work there. I will be back in November to set up and sell many more pieces than are usually available on the floor at Tamarack. 

While I don't like pictures of myself, here is a neat picture (photo credit Dave Savage: Augusta Heritage Center of Davis and Elkins College) of me talking to folks about the student work completed in my class, Dyeing To Weave, Week 4 of the Augusta Heritage Traditional Arts Program. What a great week! All of the students got two pieces dyed and woven in one week! Check out the Augusta Heritage Program of Davis and Elkins College. Hoping to offer even more next summer. This is from the student showcase held toward the end of the week. 

I am building a collection of hand towels. I have been dyeing 12 yards of cotton, and weaving them in cotton. Each one is different from the next in design, but colors stay the same within one warp. It is nice to have them look similar, but look unique - the signature of my work. I have purples, salmon, rust/brown, black and sea foam blue and will be adding more colors in the next couple of weeks.

Here is a picture of my booth from Mountain State Art and Craft Fair held over July 5-7. It was a tricky event as throughout WV most folks were still without power from the storm that hit not a week before. Everyone said the crowds were not as good as in years past. I LOVED the event. The people were warm and inviting. SO many interested in seeing weaving demonstrated. Next year will be the 50th year for the fair which will start on July 4. this is in Ripley, WV.
