All you need to spin your dreams
The Majacraft camp is over for another year… I am currently going through that low funk that happens in life after a special experience. And unsurprisingly, the camp was another high point. The tutors were marvellous and people learned stuff and had a lot […]
It has been a bit of a mammoth effort to push the new Overdrive Heads into production but things are progressing well and nearly ready for shipping out to you. Here are the first ones in the final stages of building. Just so you know […]
On the weekend of the 22nd February, Alet Tienport hosted some classes for double heddle weaving on the Dynamic Heddle Loom as taught by Patty Poot and Suzy Brown.
