It's a beautiful Saturday morning at the studio. The tables are covered with plastic and the coffee is plentiful! (Click on photo for slideshow view).
We met at the Heritage Weavers & Spinners Guild Studio for a full day of dye experimentation. Ruth, our patient and knowledgeable friend and mentor shared her expertise to make the day a wonderful success! From grey, beige and white ... to a kalidescope of colour! Enjoy!
