Balls of Chilkat warp and bundles of split cedar enjoy a great view from the upper deck of the KVI Beach House in Vashon Island, Washington State<\/p><\/div>\n

While standing inside the dining room window, I shot this image of Melissa and Sue – two strong-willed, organized, power-packed women who are still busy doing business while we make an effort to relax at this wonderful beach house retreat!<\/p><\/div>\n

Sue Shotridge insisted that she, Mellisa Rinehart and I take a two-day retreat to this wonderful beach house on Vashon.\u00a0 She INSISTED and she was PATIENT with my initial responses of “what for…?”\u00a0 She had to explain that I was an extreme “Type A” personality who after taking a three-month weaving tour at my age, needed a break.\u00a0 She also needed a break and she wanted to talk with Melissa and I about the logistics of hosting a week-long weaving retreat next year in September at this beach house.\u00a0 We relaxed while doing business.\u00a0 What a wonderful concept!\u00a0 I intend on conducting business this way more often!<\/p>\n

Melissa and Sue take photos while heading down the hillside to the beach (just a couple of stones throw away from the house)…<\/p><\/div>\n

Clarissa demonstrates to Melissa how to split and prepare the wool roving for spinning with cedar bark to create Chilkat warp<\/p><\/div>\n

I taught Melissa how to spin her own warp so that a year from now when we do the weaving retreat, she will have enough warp to do a large project or several small ones.\u00a0 We spun while Sue took notes planning the weaving retreat.<\/p>\n

Clarissa demonstrates how to groom balls of warp to Melissa, an attentive student indeed!<\/p>\n
