Art Walk at the Bay

On the tenth anniversary of 9/11, SCARF was out demonstrating spinning and weaving at Art Walk at the Bay.


We had looms, a spinning wheel, a spindle, and of course the kumihimo disks.  I think we indoctrinated quite a few young weavers.

We had a booth with an excellent view.  On Sunday, a triathlon was being run so the traffic was a little wonky.

Hand spun yarn and inkle loom straps.

Samples of woven and knitted items - some of them hand spun.

At the end of Sunday, the finished woven item from the Ashford loom.  We started with the purple and we had quite a few serious young weavers doing an excellent job.  The purple to the green was the weave for Sunday.

This young up and coming weaver spent quite a bit of time weaving on the loom and he came back at the end of the day for the scarf.  I believe he represents the next generation of master weavers.

It was a fun time had by all at the booth manned by SCARF.  

We had all kinds of different weaving samples and take home kumihimo disks for everyone to try out their skills in japanese braiding.

It was pretty windy both days, but it was warm and some of us got a little too much sun.  The crowds were great and we exposed quite a few folks to weaving.  We even had questions on classes over the summer and we are getting together to do some planning on that.  Keep checking the calendar for upcoming events.


Here are some of the photos from the weekend.

This loom was warped with double weave.  We had quite a few enterprising kids weaving on this pattern.
