If You Could Choose....

I'd love to say that I've been away, been enjoying house guests  but the truth of it is, we have been dealing with water woes and how to resolve issues with the coming in of it, and the going out of it from the house. Also conscious of the dwindling summer and time to effect a solution!
 All solutions are expensive  of course...

Me, in approx 2004, eagerly heading into a workshop with my table loom all prepped! I was caught  being 'creative'  by friend Gudie Hupfauer.

So to that end I have been thinking of teaching but, 'true confession' time: the idea of standing at the front of a class of students terrifies me! What I would be able to do comfortably is teach one on one here at my home.
I could show the student how to do project planning, wind a warp and beam it B2F on the Louet  (either floor loom or table loom) and guide them through some of the basics such as reading a draft, choosing appropriate yarns. Later we can do finishing  and they can take their work home as  a purposeful cloth such as a scarf or tea towel or table runner.  

So that is how I envision the overall goals but as they say, the devil is in the details! Since I'm brand new to this I would like to ask 'You' that if you could be the student or teacher in this situation, what would you like to see in place?

• how long would the class session be? 2 hours, 4 hours?
• how many days or weeks?
• day time? evening? or weekend?
• ...and what to charge for my time, equipment and yarn?

I think by the time a student has finished a project they will have a much better understanding if weaving is for them or not.

• What would you add to the list? What would you like to see included if you were the student or the teacher?

Years ago I had a weaving teacher tell me that I would not be weaving anything of merit for at least the first year and hopefully, I proved her wrong! Now I'd like to help someone learn to weave and get off to a great start. I'm looking forward to your comments or you can email me directly to weeverwoman@yahoo.com
