Peru Exchange

[Judy Chapman]

Patty, Could you tell us more about the weaving exchange in Peru? I will be going there in April and I am interested in hearing about how your exchange came to be. I didn’t think that card weaving was indigenous to the Andean culture.   Looking forward to seeing my copy of TWIST which has not arrived yet.   Judy Chapman Minden , Ontario       From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patricia Townsend Sent: Thursday, December 22, 2005 8:36 PM To: tabletweaving@crafter.org Subject: Worth tackling the mailman!   Well Janis, my issue of TWIST finally arrived today, and I must say I can't wait to show the students this one!  I had caught wind that their weavings were in this issue, but I wasn't prepared for how many!  For these beginning tablet weavers, aged 16, it's quite an honor to be included in this publication alongside the fine tablet weavers out there--thank you also for including the credits, because some of the artists who have generously shared their work can see that they have inspired the next generation.  And many portions of these same bands were sent down to young weavers in Peru as part of an on-going weaving exchange--now in its 5th year.   Thank you so much for honoring their efforts!
