Weaving Class

I started to go to weaving class from last week. It's like the happy hours in my daily routine. I love the class!



My instructor, Babajan.



Babajan's grandpa wore this pants for his wedding.



Graffiti on the wall.



My first sampler!! Now I know how to do plain weave, twill, imitation tapestry and basket weave.
I'm really tired of working on a very tight schedule, but I am happy that I manage to find time for the class.

Life is exciting!

Nice! I would love to learn how to weave. But instead I'm going to take some ceramic lessons I think. It's nice to learn new techniques to create huh!
I love your blog, I added it on my link list.

Oh, yes, so many things to try and so little time :)
Weaving seems like a wonderful contemplative thing to undertake.
