She has been active in starting and leading a number of weaving guilds, which is a topic I know many of you have been eager to hear about on the podcast.

Janye’s conversation was great. I took a tapestry and four harness class then moved to where there were no weavers. This was in the late ‘90s, not much internet at the time. So I join HGA and ATA (American Tapestry Alliance) through their magazines and newsletters it keep me encouraged. Plus I went through Deborah Chandler’s book Learning to Weave through Summer and Winter weaving. So no matter where you live there are sources to help you learn. Don’t give up even if your the only weaver in town.

Unfortunately, I went to a dying guild. This was a great podcast. I am having a fiber arts groups that allows many fiber arts. Where we live people really do not know about fiber arts which is sad. I am trying to promote that to the public
