TAPESTRY WEAVING on the TRISHARY LOOM with Trisha Gow
In this workshop, we learned how to warp and weave on the small Trishary circular looms. Our little tapestries could be left on the loom as a frame, or taken off in order to reuse the
loom at another time.

NAVAJO SPINNING & WEAVING – with Doug Elliot and Stephanie Hoppe
Navajo Carding

Doug Elliot demonstrating carding and Navajo spinning with Dermocybe phoenicea var. occidentialis dyed wool.
Navajo Warping 
This was a community effort: Doug Elliott spun the yarn, and Vicki Fraser dyed the yarn with mushroom dyes. (Brown is from Pisolithus arhizus; Pink and rose red are from Dermocybe phoenicea var. occidentialis and yellow is from Phaeolus schweinitzii). Stephanie Hoppe wove the tapestry “Under Mushroom Star”, and the edging cords were (acid) dyed by Carolyn Carleton.
