Excited to be going there in March. A bit early for spring weather, but I'm going to a weaving workshop. Anyone with tidbits to share? SSI looks to be a very artsy community. I have never been to the northwest/US or that part of Canada.

I'm guessing Sophie will be the one to fill you in on all the details.
Vancouver Island is wonderful.

Canayjun as well, especially on the textiles front--although i think she's joined the quilting dark side.

Yes...she had much more to do with fiber arts than I do.. I will alert her about this thread.. and Ruth might as well.. I will be gone until mid month but if you are here in the second half of the month I would live to be a tour guide!!

good morning!!! lucky you... yes, i used to teach weaving, spinning, dyeing all that stuff at a college up north, and yes, i have a number of friends on SaltSpring, one who i taught to weave, and who is still weaving beautiful rugs. I go over fairly often, so happy to help in any way. Where are you coming from? who is giving the workshop? And if you are in Victoria for a day or two, there are at least three old lpwt that would love to take you to what we call a 'tissup'... tea in one of Victoria's wonderful tea rooms... btw is it a Saori weaving workshop?
