<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings textile workers,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It's early yet, but I'm working on getting
information to the web site. I plan on updating soon and sending out
the URL.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But in the meantime, I thought I'd touch
base. I'm gathering classes and teachers. Once I get confirmations,
I'll post the classes and schedule. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Right now, I've got a spinning track, a weaving
track, a track for other (lucet, nalbinding, etc) and a track that will
consist of an all-day carpentry class, making an upright card weaving loom
or embroidery loom (I'm not completely clear on it).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One question I have for you guys is, should I try
to include an embroidery track? My fear is that it will end up
packing the schedule without necessarily drawing additional students.
But it is an important part of the medieval fiber arts that we
practice.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, should I build in an hour for lunch?
The temptation is to pack as many classes in as possible, and let people get
lunch when they can, but some students don't like having to pick between lunch
and a class. Right now in the scheduling process, there is a built-in hour
for lunch.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This college is for you, so let me know what you
think.</FONT></DIV>
