I am so glad I was there!<br /><br />Ralph has a teaching weaving studio in downtown North Bay, with weaving on Mondays and Wednesdays. Cost is $ 60/month, which includes a floor loom and ongoing advice and planning for personal project of own choice. Weavers can use their own yarn, or buy some yarns at the studio.<br />Visitors are welcome to look around, or weave something on our occasional "communal warps" - but we're hard to find - tucked in a downtown basement, with no signs , and secure entrance. Call Ralph 705-669-0920 (Sudbury) Tuesday to Saturday, or 705-471-1856 (cell phone) Saturday to Monday for more info.<br /><br />Ralph has an ongoing interest in ceintures flechees (French Canadian traditional sashes), so if you have an interesting one, or one with a definite date - please contact him. he's slowly working on cataloguing the many kinds of sashes that have been done.<br /><br />He is available for workshops, seminars, etc.<br /><br />One of his 1/2 day seminars is on Loom Maintenance - how to get your loom working at its best. As we all know, a poorly working loom can be endless frustration!!<br />To go with this is a booklet, with step by step instructions to help go through your floor loom (either jack or counter balance - and a little on counter marche) and make the obvious ajustments.<br />You can get it by taking the seminar, or directly from Ralph, for $11.00 (included taxes). As well as cheques, he accepts Paypal (and Credit Cards through Paypal) so it can be paid for and sent in either regular mail or email form.<br /><br />He does give occasional workshop in his Sudbury studio, but that's been put on hold for the moment because all his time is being absorbed by one of those never-ending big house renovations! But hopefully that'll be over within a few months...<br /><br />Ralph is teaching "Sett" at the Halliburton School of the Arts this July 20 to 25, 2008 - a weeklong course learning how to make good cloth using the right reed and beating style, and developing a better sense of when a cloth is well designed structurally, and when it could use a few changes.<br />To register for this , contact<br />Haliburton School of the Arts - Fleming College<br /><a href="http://www.haliburtonschoolofthearts.ca/">http://www.haliburtonschoolofthearts.ca/</a><br />705 457 1680<br /><br />Let's learn from the master!FD all about woolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08192457546162276321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6165796915983290280.post-84941733124103435552008-06-03T10:02:00.000-07:002008-06-03T10:29:55.070-07:00Stoddart Family Farm.I have just checked Silvia's website. I didn't know they did so much. I thought she had already a lot in her cup by raising her sheep and home schooling her 5 kids (I have met two of them and she is doing a great job).
