Class room weaving teachers are learning the Saori new Kenzo table top warping system

It is always fun when experienced weavers come the the studio for a class in learning how to warp the Saori way! today 3 weavers, Sheng, Jon, and Jen all colleagues and weaving teachers. they  each have a saori loom at there new class rooms located  in different locations in California's silicon valley.

Here is Sheng beaming on NOT  at the loom but comfortably at the table top!

 back to front , front to back different tecniques to learn!

 we took some breaks to try on some of my saori designs...

  then back to to the  SAORI WARPING FRAMES HERE

  THE KENZO JO WARPING SYSTEM HERE

 now learning to warp with the thumb flip! for front to back

  the  12 cone SWEDISH  Glimakra thread stand is amazing if you would like to order one email me..

 JON entertained us with his ukulele  and each student took home a ready made warp they learned to make themselves using the new kenzo jo table top system for there Saori loom in there classes rooms , they have other looms other than the saori  looms but this was a delightful !
there comment " If we had know about how wonderful the Saori looms were before we otherd the other ones for the class room we would have gone with more Saori looms ! they are FANTASTIC"
