Welcome to Episode 2!

I recently returned from studying weaving under Beth Ross Johnson for two months at Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina. Beth invited Melissa Weaver Dunning to visit and lead a traditional Scottish waulking (to full wool blankets we had made.) Melissa led the waulking with traditional Scottish and Irish songs and wonderful weaving stories. This episode is an edited audio recording of the waulking.

During my interview with Beryl Korot, she described for me Text and Commentary, an artwork she created in the 1970’s that combines weaving and video. She brought a copy of the original score for this piece to share with me. The images below are the Text and Commentary video score.

A friend sent this comic to me. It is from the www.marriedtothesea.com daily comic.
