Convergence 2008

My mother and I both headed down to Tampa Florida for the weaving convention brought to you by the Handweaver's Guild of America HGA. If you do not belong to HGA, I recommend you join. Even if you don't personally weave, you will receive their magazine, Shuttle Spindle and Dyepot which is amazing and very inspirational for any type of designer or art enthusiast.

The Convergence Conference was filled with exciting and inspirational workshops, seminars, exhibits, tours, special events and vendors.

My first 3 day workshop was taught by Jannie Taylor. Her beautiful weavings can be found below. Jannie also teaches workshops at AVL, and I was excited to spend the time learning from her and improving my Weavepoint skills.

Weaving and braiding enthusiast, and author Anne Dixon also enjoyed the workshop and was kind enough to do a show and tell of her woven and braided work.
