Picking Their Brains!

Not only do we go to conferences to learn from each other, but we
are there to 'pick the brains' of our instructors, enjoy their work,
and relish in their enthusiasm for their art.

The instructors exhibit is one of the highlights--usually, you are only
able to attend 3-4 classes during the four day conference, so we
can view the work of other instructors.
This is Michael Rohde, "Acoma" tapestry in wool using natural dyes

Another Michael piece--look closely!  Do you see the face?
That is self portrait of the artist "Contemplation"--wool tapestry
with natural dyes--ingenious work!

Rosalie Neilson was showing, "Red Sky Crow" in Rep weave

Connie and her core group did 175 Arashi napkins for
the keynote dinner--a real privilege to receive one of these
beauties!
