Tuesday at the Folk School
Ice encrusted waterfall in the pond between "home" and the dining hall.
Tuesday, Feb 14. Up
later--5ish. Icy Cold. Spent the day learning new stitches. Many were "off-loom"
weaving style. Came back after dinner even though that meant missing the contra
dancing. Worked with the teacher and learned even more "off-loom"
work, but basically worked independently.
Fun times with the roommates.
Laughing and revealing confidences; discussing teachers and classes. Every
meal, I have been sitting at a different table and meeting people. Met a pair
of doctors and a data person. The doctors are making a fly-fishing pole (he)
and learning book arts (she) The data person works in Atlanta and says she has taken several blacksmithing
classes already. She is working on a table sized-bonsai like tree that will
hold three candle cups. I hope I get to see it. She is fun to talk to and I ate
lunch AND dinner with her. I will go back to breakfast Wednesday and sit where
she customarily sits.
As you see, I DID get to take a picture of Blacksmith Atlanta-Data person's beautifully wrought creation.
