Description

It is a 6 months program to deepen your knowledge of weaving techniques and develop your inner creativity by working on a specific assignment and share the work in a monthly meeting on zoom in a group. This is for people who has a loom at home, has a basic skill of warping and weaving, and has been weaving for a while. This program is NOT for a beginner weaver. Please consult Mihoko if you are not sure that you are qualified.

Mihoko has been facilitating the Study Group for 7 years. She has worked on the same assignment with participants before. She intends to do it as far as her schedule allows her to do so.

Assignments choices are like “two color interlocking”, “weave with one color”, or “Bold tapestry”. There is a big list. Mihoko will ask participants for their choices.

Almost every participants reflected that the Study Group was a great program because they learned so much by seeing the variety of interpretation of the same technique. Many of them keep returning to the program to get new ideas that they have not come up if they weave by themselves. It is a great way to develop your interests, knowledges, and skills. It is educational, encouraging, inspiring, and fun to challenge something new and something you are not so interested in before. The assignment is not limited but opens up your creativity.

I really enjoyed the study group I took with Mihoko. It was so good to see how the rest of the group interpreted the project we were given to complete for that month. I liked how we had a month to complete given project. That gave everyone time to wind a warp and collect yarns that were needed. It was very interested to meet people from all over the US. They shared stories of how they came up with what they had chosen to interpret the given project. Study groups are wonderful for learning. Thanks so much. (L.A.)

The study group was a really fun way to connect with other weavers and expand my weaving skillset. The prompts challenged me to try techniques that I wouldn’t have thought of on my own and pushed me out of my comfort zone, which has made me a more confident weaver. Thank you for the wonderful experience! (Andrea)

For me the only way to connect with Saori is via Zoom. I like being able to meet people from other places and explore techniques and ideas. It helps energize me. There is no local studio. I liked focusing on one aspect of my weaving and learning new things (C.C.)

Study group was better in person, but the Zoom group was still a good experience. One advantage was meeting people from more distant places.(D.W.)

This is perfect for people who want to have a guidance for new learning, who want to have a challenge, who want to connect and build friendship with other weavers, who want to develop their skills and knowledge about SAORI weaving, or/and who want to deepen their inner creativity.
