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

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.
