I have included some photos of the beginners tapestry workshop which was held in May 2012. Vivienne Wilson took the photos. We had a small group of four people. The person coming the farthest was Terry who came from Auckland, NZ.

A very easy way for Terry to transport her copper pipe loom home to New Zealand in her luggage was Terry’s smart idea to figure it out. She un-screwed the nuts at the threaded rod until the rod slid into the copper pipe tube. This is easily done by turning the nuts simultaneously in the same direction on each side. Then the warp slips off the top copper pipe and the warp can be folded over (to be slipped back on when she got home). This shortens the loom by about 10″, and can now be fitted into her suitcase. Great idea Terry!
