♦ Weaving is a part of our life. It is our healing. Our family weaves together.

♦ This was my first weaving class. I have found this experience to be extremely fulfilling in a spiritually connected sense.

♦ I’ve been weaving since 1996 keeping our tradition going because it was becoming a dying art.
