Sunday at Julian Academy of Handweaving

Three friends and I spent last Sunday weaving in Santa Ysabel. Beryl Warnes moved her weaving studio and shop and school to Santa Ysabel years ago, when she outgrew her space in Julian.
In addition to conducting three day workshops, Beryl sets up looms by appointment, for would-be weavers to weave for a day, and is on hand to help with selection of materials and design, as well as basic instruction on how to weave.
Her forty-plus years of weaving expertise and love of weaving contribute to a spirited day of creativity, and everyone leaves with the satisfaction of having woven something beautiful, that will be enjoyed for many years.
Here are the three weavers at their looms:  Annie, Peg, and Alex. Silly me...I didn’t think to take photos of their finished pieces!  The fourth photo is of the blanket I started, which I will finish before the month is out.
