- After a short demonstration, students work on weaving samples in class, while Natalya talks to students individually about their final weaving plans.
- September 19 is a ‘work on your weaving sample’ day in class. Ideally, at the end of Thursday class, everyone takes their samples off the loom and makes a plan with a class buddy to re-warp the loom as soon as possible in order to begin working on the final weaving. Some students may need more time to work on their samples before they are ready to move on. That is ok. The looms must be re-warped by September 26 AT THE LATEST.demo:
