Arrived in Reno, Nevada, and ready to teach sprang. I've got my frames all set up, and a display table full of examples. A surprisingly wide variety of garments, and a wide variety of patterns are possible with sprang.

It is so lovely to meet with others who are excited about sprang.
In Reno at the HGA Convergence, I taught a beginner class, and then a sprang lace class. The students were top notch every one.

Eileen had taken a class from me before. She returned to learn more, but brought along a beautiful sprang hat she had made .... and decorated with a crocheted flower.

The students all worked very hard. Such a joy to see a piece of cloth emerge on the frame ... and lace patterns to boot!
The thing about teaching a non-beginner class is that everyone brings their frame. Some of them have great innovations .... like Rose whose frame came with a stand.

She set her frame on sideways to warp ....

and then re-arranged the frame and stand for working sprang.
HGA always has a fashion show, and several exhibits. I had two sprang shirts that made it into the fashion show, and then another shirt is on display in the leaders' (teachers') exhibit

Looking forward to the Complex Weavers Conference that starts today.

Carol acknowledges that we are on Treaty 1 territory, the traditional gathering place of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene people and the traditional homeland of the Métis people. Carol also acknowledges that sprang is part of many  indigenous traditions  and found in various forms all over the world. Let us re-discover this technique together.
