This weekend we completed part one of our twining workshop with Linda Coombs. With decades of experience studying and practicing this weaving form, Linda carries strong technical and artistic skill, and a steady, thoughtful approach to sharing her wisdom with our community. It was an honor to learn from her hands and her stories.

Looking forward to part two! 🧶
