Charlene concentrates on beginning the next row - her very first Ravenstail weaving!<\/p><\/div>\n

While researching the old Chilkat robes in the museums around the Northern Hemisphere, artist\/weaver\/author Cheryl Samuel also came across the Ravenstail style of weaving.\u00a0 Her first Ravenstail weaving class was held at the Totem Center in Ketchikan, Alaska in November 1989; I attended that first class.\u00a0 Since then, whenever anyone asked me about learning Ravenstail weaving, I’d recommend Cheryl. \u00a0 However,\u00a0 22 years later, I conducted my very first official Ravenstail weaving class in Teslin, Yukon Territory (Canada) during the week of their cultural “Celebration 2011” July 25 – 30, 2011.<\/p>\n

During Teslin's "Celebration 2011" the class had many visitors checking out the weavers' tedious and wonderful work - We wove a small Ravenstail pouch in 3 days<\/p><\/div>\n

During the class, a group of Ainu visitors from Japan were guest performers at Teslin’s Celebration.\u00a0 Although we there was a language barrier, we used lots of gestures and facial expressions to communicate the similarities of our spinning and weaving techniques.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The Ainu spin their warp exactly like ours with two strands of fiber with the exception that they spin in mid-air using their thumbs and we spin our warp on our thigh<\/p><\/div>\n
