Same as last year I will be doing a workshop on loom weaving, but this time there will be two workshops. One at 10:15 am on 24th and 5:00 pm on the 26th. During the fest, I will have my Saori loom at my booth for those that missed the workshops. All ages are welcome from the youthful to the matured, the youngest weaver was 4 ½ yo.
