She mixes the two in her displays and it's really gorgeous. I suspect you're going to find a lot of similarities, especially in that meditative sense. I'm looking forward to your creations.Lori Buffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00233955188892423314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-31182616766981412012012-09-20T05:01:32.428-07:002012-09-20T05:01:32.428-07:00Tracey!

So funny what you pick up to use later in life...<br />Dennis, I made looms with a kid's class once and it was the quietest I ever saw them, kids love to weave!<br />Scott, you are so funny. Glad you can relate!<br />Laura, yep the times they are a changin' xo<br />Hey Anna, I thought about you in class last night. If you can make pottery and weaving work, I figure I can give it a go. What a different rhythm though, but nicer on the bones.Tracey Broomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560971496423789576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-20182606718581726012012-09-19T08:58:57.037-07:002012-09-19T08:58:57.037-07:00Awesome!

I think chitchat is a prerequisite....but usually once the weaving starts that chatting slows since there will be a lot more concentration required. You are doing great! And huck is an awesome pattern to weave. The key is to not beat it too hard. (You'll understand what that means quickly!) The studio looks like the perfect place to learn. So glad you are enjoying it!!!Anna M.

I know exactly how that starting out in a new material feels ; ) You'll have it down in no time and then it's just time, pain, mistakes and misery!!... kidding.<br />The Tracey as sociopath bit had me laughing, i feel the same way about chit chat... especially when trying to think, work, create. My shared, open plan studio drives me nuts somedays. I told one of them that I'm just becoming grumpy and miserable and I don't talk much because i don't think i have anything that interesting to say, but worse, i'm even less interested in what anyone else has to say!! get me, what a joy to have around!!<br />Great stuff Tracey, I'm looking forward to more of your stories from class!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17496760267994465209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-85905046680367611182012-09-19T07:49:21.783-07:002012-09-19T07:49:21.783-07:00Sounds like fun.I had a couple of small looms in m...Sounds like fun.I had a couple of small looms in my classroom when I taught.The kids really liked using them and I think the repetitive motions that made the right and left hand work together was theraputic.Dennis Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01170187288282755570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-67993695452010505052012-09-19T07:47:04.495-07:002012-09-19T07:47:04.495-07:00Looks like it's going to be a great class, hop...Looks like it's going to be a great class, hopefully you will be able to tune out the chatter. That was my issue with classes I took at NHIA, so many people were there for a social event, not to learn ceramics.<br /><br />Your weaving terms brought back some very faint memories of a weaving class I took in High School. The weird thing was that it wasn't part of the art department, it was in the home economics dept. Which meant that none of my art crowd friends were in the class.Michèle Hastingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346907762804197879noreply@blogger.com
