PickOne

I’m just reflecting on a wonderful weekend of teaching at the PickOne studios where I had three eager students going through the various process to achieve making beautiful cloth.

As I said in a previous post, students hailed from the highlands of Scotland + California - a winning mix!

Again it was interesting to note I am one of the few workshop providers that give instruction on how to prepare a “fankle free” warp as well as providing 10 plus on line videos to assist with both the weekend + future adventures in warp + weft, all as part of the fee paid for a weekend or evening workshop/class … which are an incredibly useful tool to continue one’s learning as the following quote in part illustrates, which I pinched from the PickOne FB page …

“Greetings from Belfast, James! … still using the videos from your workshop. Love following all the brilliant work produced under your tutelage on this page. Gur treise do lámha, more power to your hands”

If you’re interested in signing up for a weekend weave workshop, please visit the following link, which will show availability, additional information, costs + an online booking form … all very straightforward, I’m told!

Advanced weekend weave workshops coming soon!!!!

Happy Monday!

Note - one doesn’t have to watch the instructional films to come along to a workshop … most, I’m told find them hugely useful post workshop …

Taking my structures to another level + really enjoying the bliss of weaving + repetition of this scarf piece.

Do you like … or to much?

I’m adjusting to being back from a wonderful holiday in Gran Canaria which involved my fantastic Glasgow based travelling chum, Mark, catching up with fantastic GC based chums, pool days, gin nights, slow days, conversations big + small, meals in + out, cafe chums, making new chums + a couple for good measure, how we laughed. Haven’t stopped. Good for the soul.

I’m definitely not a solo traveller, more of a pack animal + this trip again proved that.

As an aside, I realised yet again that when I repainted my house recently I redecorate subconsciously with the colours of Gran Canaria as this carousel of images proves. Love that!

Normal service resumes as of Monday!

Happy Sunday!
