Clarissa Rizal and apprentice Teahonna James – April 15, 2014<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s nerve-wracking to weave a Chilkat robe in a total of 5 months, absolutely nerve-wracking.\u00a0 Though when I have a student who lives an hour from me who is willing to make the drive and sleep in my studio to learn how to weave, that is a real plus for me to make the deadline —\u00a0 and of course, it’s a plus for her because she gets to learn how many tricks-of-the-trade and how to weave a robe!\u00a0 So the trade is perfect for both of us!<\/p>\n

Teahonna James has shown a great dedication to herself and I in learning how to weave Chilkat.\u00a0 She is totally committed, has a sense of balance and organizational skills and is a talented “expert” in weaving….but I’m not going to tell her that so we can avoid getting big-headed about it!\u00a0 %^}\u00a0 I appreciate having the gift of apprentices who squeeze Chilkat weaving in between the lines!\u00a0\u00a0 Recent apprentices Crystal Rogers and Vanessa Morgan are two others who do this too.<\/p>\n

There are several other apprentices too from the distant past who have become strong weavers and teachers in their own communities.\u00a0 I know my mentor and teacher of Chilkat, Jennie Thlunaut would be proud of them too.\u00a0 There is a sense of peace knowing that I fulfilled my promise to Jennie; there is a sense of pride with the students knowing they are a major part of that promise.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Teahonna; I appreciate you making the time and effort to come over the past couple of weekends to assist me in gettingerdun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
