A Gathering of Guilds: Asilomar

Phew, it is good to be home. The animals are happy to have me home. I am happy. The Man - released from his Critter Sitter duties - is out fishing and as you can imagine very happy.

The Conference of Northern California Handweavers (CNCH) was a jam-packed, intense 4-day experience. A gathering of 27 Guilds: textile and fiber enthusiasts, Weavers, Dyers, Basket makers, and Spinners. The two-and-a-half-day workshops were interspersed with many Guild activities. Phew.

Ready to go:
