Sponsored by TWIST - Tablet Weavers International Studies & Techniques While I learned about tabletweaving through the SCA, I've tried to spread it outside of the society as well. We have an annual day of classes for the general public where I've been teaching tablet weaving classes for about 8 years. I'm also a highschool chemistry teacher, and while that doesn't allow too much leeway to introduce TW, I usually bring out my samples at least once over the year. (and this year I had them do a lab on dyes and textiles) Just last week, I was a guest lecturer for a family studies class. While most of the kids weren't all that interested (not surprising - last period on the friday of a long weekend), the teacher did have four kids come up to her and ask if I was coming back.
So I think the future is in friendship bracelets and belts to start, and then we'll probably start seeing them on the fashion runway again. For those of you who haven't been on the SCA weaving list, I highly recommend going into their photos and see what everyone else has been up to - same reason that I always look forward to my next TWIST. :-) Rob Send private reply to "Robert Schweitzer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop receiving tabletweaving (not tabletweaving-digest), send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: unsubscribe tabletweaving.
