The mission of my teachings is to inspire surface design in weaving - from warp to weft to finished cloth.  It is through the magic of multiple possibilities, beyond loom+yarn+pattern, that we find our unique and beautiful voice.

Workshops:

         "Serendipity In A Cup" Color Essence for Hand Weavers - "designing from the warp up"
         "The Esoteric Cloth"   Surface Design for Hand Weavers - "warp, weft and finished cloth"
         "Arashi, Point of Departure"  Exquisite Texture: Body and Beyond - "endless applique on cloth, metals, canvas....."
         "Chroma Rhumba!"  Technicolor Dance Around the Color Wheel - let's simplify color "theory"

Lectures:

              Landscapes of Inspiration  (1/2 hr - 2 hr participation seminar formats w/slides)    
                   
Making the connection between the exquisite natural world and our fiber art

           Esoteric Cloth - One Weaver's Journey (30-45 w/slides) From boundweave rugs to wearables and the decorative arts, this is the story of a 25 year journey, beginning with 1 loom and 2 books, the loom+yarn+pattern=cloth weavings, progressing to the eventual seduction
                        of dyeing and surface design.                      

- Anything else that may be important (e.g., geographic travel limitations, time of year limitations, etc.)

            I am happy to travel anywhere, normally October through mid-April.  I enjoy non-smoking home stays, will eat most(?) everything, and benefit greatly from strong coffee and a simple piece of fruit in the a.m.
