Here is my sampler of African techniques
and my interpretation of a Xhosa tobacco bag
I learned so much about African textiles that I felt ashamed of the riches I have compared to the men and women who produce the wonderful pieces Mary Sleigh introduced me to.
Thank-you to Mary for opening my eyes and mind.
It was a very thoughtful workshop as well as a very useful one.

I took some snaps of your work. I think Mary and Jan were very thoughtful, interesting teachers and we were indeed very lucky to have spent that time with them. Glad your world has turned right-way-up again!!!!
Jealous, jealous, jealous! Did wonder whether I could sneak into summer school. Looks like you had a lovely time of it and produced some interesting things. Back to reality now heh? Sad not to have seen you again Julie
Hope you're going to tell us more about these pieces!
