What began as an idea, ended with five well-constructed jackets from handwoven fabric.

What happened in between was a lot of learning, experimenting, deep thinking, friendship, and fun.

The students who participated in Sharon Alderman’s fabric design workshop last spring were given the gift of Sharon’s extensive knowledge of how to create quality fabric on the loom and how to successfully finish fabric off the loom. Most of workshop participants were exhausted at the end of Sharon’s intensive three days of teaching (Sharon gave her all to the group) and many students put their lessons learned into practice by designing and creating jacket-worthy yardage.
