Hi,
I took your last scarf in a day class at the Botanic Gardens.
Recently bought a “pre-owned” Nilus LeCleric and would like to have a private lesson for my husband and myself at our home.
Please let me know if that is possible and if you would be interested in teaching us.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Jackie
I would love to learn from you about the art of weaving. If you are taking on private students I would love to be one. Please contact me.

Hello, I like your work. I’m an artist working in Memphis,TN. I want to learn more about handmade books, binding, folding, and sewing techniques. Is there any classes in the Memphis or surrounding area that I could learn mire about art book binding.
Thank you
Terry
Thanks, Terry. There’s a new art studio in Memphis that offers a bookmaking class. It is Flicker Street Studio.
Are you going to teach any more rigid heddle weaving classes?
