Saori workshop with Louise Cook

I was lucky enough to attend a Saori workshop at the Waikato Area Education Day. I've spent many hours looking at Saori weaving on the net and this style has influenced the scarves I wove in May and June where I used lots of different weft yarns. One of the tenets of the Saori style is to decide what to do with the weaving after it is finished - that is a very different approach to my usual one. Saori is a free style of weaving and one becomes absorbed and immersed in the process. For more see Saori philosophy  Louise is the sole accredited Saori tutor in New Zealand.
