Studying these art forms is more than learning something new. it is like I am relearning and regaining something that was forgotten, something that was taken. It is a cathartic, healing process. Dyeing these hand spun threads and weaving on this ancient loom, to produce cloth from an age old tradition stretching back over 1000 years, is a powerful and emotional creative experience. The experience is made even more emotional by the thought that in another generation these art forms may be gone. I feel honored receiving this knowledge and am excited to share what I have learned.
