The Singing Weaver Teaches I present a variety of programs, seminars, and workshops about weaving and music.   I've given presentations for adults and children at libraries, museums, festivals, fairs, guilds, private homes, conferences, colleges, schools and on the radio. My presentations are "ideas" generated Technique is presented as the way to make what is in your head visible in the easiest manner Technique focus is on experimentation and adapting what I demonstrate to what works for the student Creativity is on par with perspiration! I incorporate a variety of lessons, and exercises to reach different learning styles The schedule is paced to accommodate all skill levels The learning atmosphere is open and accepting of each participant' ideas, skills and efforts Structure is organized to accomplish workshop objectives, but flexible to accommodate the needs of the participants My teaching goal: inspire students to honor and develop their own creativity while gaining technical skill Programs/Seminars Promotion 24/7 - Making a Living From Your Fiber Skills Beyond Plaid: Fiber Artists and Music of Scotland - Travel and tales from Shetland to the Borders A Rumpelstiltskin Delight: Double Warp Overlay Rugs and Design Spinning Straw Into Gold: Woven Harmonies - The rhythmic and metaphoric link of weaving and music Spirit Song: The Woven Liturgical Tradition Theme and Variation: More Weaving That Sings - Program based on the book of the same title and the work of Joyce Harter and Nadine Sanders Warping on a Shoestring - Speed warping and tensioning with laces Creating a Life of Living the Art - share and envision the creative life.
