morgan class: north country shifu

it was GREAT!!!!!

everything about my class was great, the venue, the weather, but:

THE STUDENTS

this is chris and the paper hat that came home with me!

she really isn't blurry, but she works very fast.

 lisa prepping a self-decorated sheet of lokta for spinning

 margaret and chris, lisa's hand

 jill weaving her very textured lokta

modeling a velma scarf

 i arrived early at the morgan on sunday and put on a podcast of a tim ely lecture

i like this! 

 decorated lokta for shifu making

 vannajill and her little book she made with aimee. 

jill plunked that book into the dyepot!

 margaret's weaving

 our dyestuff: onion skins

 chris's hands took to spinning and weaving like ducks to water

 so did jill's foot!!!

 i think susan is telling a story

things i learned: 

not everyone learned to make pot holders as little kids. 

women have great staying thin strategies. 

there is a collective energy about learning that the morgan fosters, 

that i will love my students. can't help it. ladies: 

i miss you already. i was honored to teach you a little bit about paper.

jill, susan, margaret, chris, and lisa, thank YOU for all that you taught me. 

susan, tom, kevin, lauren, thank you
tom, those not very well formed sheets centered me. 

morgan conservatory,

you rock more than the hall of fame.
