  I would absolutely love to come.  I could also teach a class in
  Beginning Inkle Weaving.  When you have a date firmed up I will put
  in to make sure I have that weekend off at work. HL Darcy Evaline o

    The last time Bjornsborg (San Antonio, for those who don't know)
    hosted a Fiber Arts College was back in '98 or 2000 or so.  I'd
    like to see another one, and why not here again?  I'm looking
    into the costs of a site with several class rooms and a central
    room to gather in. My idea is classes, no lunch provided - bring
    a lunch or go offsite to get it, more classes, after classes
    maybe a potluck dinner and spin/weave/fiber-in, either on site or
    at someone's house.  Just sitting around talking fiber, working
    on projects and eating supper.  Go home. My question is, is there
    enough interest to go forward with this?  Is there enough
    interest for people to say they will attend, not just that it's a
    good idea?  For the one place I've gotten prices, we would need
    to have at least 35 people, at $10 site.  I'm continuing to look
    for another site. The date I'm looking at is June 23. Some class
    ideas:Spinning-related classes:Fleece prep - choosing, skirting,
    washing, etc.Fiber prep - carding vs combing woolBeginning
    spinning with handspindle, low or hi whorlBeginning spinning with
    treadle wheelIntermediate/Advanced spinning with fibers other
    than wool: flax, cotton, silk, exoticsPeriod Fibers - info about
    flax, nettle, cotton, silk, metallics, how to prepare and use
    themPeriod Breeds - who, when, where (Debroa, I'm looking at you
    : )   ) Weaving-related classes:Beginning tapestryBeginning
    tablet -weaving - threaded in patternsIntermediate/Advanced
    tablet weaving techniques - double-faced weaveIntermediate/Advanced
    tablet weaving techniques - Brocaded tablet weavingBeginning
    rigid heddle weavingYardage weaving - how to begin, calculations,
    how to end the projectWarping a jack loom (most common modern
    loom) - front to back or back to front Other string-related
    classes:Beginning nalbindingBeginning finger-looped braidingBeginning
    kumihimoBeginning knittingBeginning sprangBeginning NettingBeginning
    lucetTasslesIntermediate/Advanced classes of any of the aboveMaking
    award insignia (Iris, Centurion, Star, Falcon, ).   Making
    hangers for medallions. Dyeing - I don't know if the site can
    accomodate this, but if so, that's another whole section of
    classes.  Info on period uses, hands-on dyeing with different
    dyes, kermes and lac vs cochineal, woad vs indigo, etc. I'm doing
    the ground work and trying to find out if people will come before
    I bring it up to my barony at our next populace meeting, March 5.
    Any other ideas?  Any volunteers? What do y'all think? RadegundBjornsborg
