Demonstration at High School
Our Fiber Guild was invited to do some demonstrations in the use of fibers at a local highschool that was having their VoAg banquet Thurs nite. Our spinner had a family emergency so there were just 2 of us there with a couple different looms. I had my table top loom with my current table runner in the works. Here is a pic of me.
I was real proud to see so many FFA jackets in the room. There was a pretty big crowd. We didn't stay to eat but headed home. It is always fun to show someone a little about your craft.
Here is a pic of the other gal with her small rigid heddle loom, and after seeing it, I am not so sure I want such a large one like I mentioned before. So may look at something smaller to use at the store to make mug rugs and runners.

As much as I like to use my hands, I don't know if I have the patients or talent to do rugs or anything other than straighten out a string. You look good by the way. Good picture.
ReplyDeleteGreat pic and opportunity to show off fiber arts!
ReplyDeleteI taught high school in SW MI for 32 years and was very disappointed when the high school I taught in didn't replace the FFA teacher/sponsor. Our community wasn't completely rural, but the area supported a very large county fair (my kids showed dairy goats), and to this day, I feel it was a huge mistake to take the opportunities and diversity that FFA awareness brought to our school/community. I'm glad to know there are still places that really value the wide spectrum of educational diversity.
