OHGOSH i just got back from penland today. this is only a little bit of the work ive made and the fun times ive had but:

ill just say how amazing catharine ellis and Joy boutroup are, how much tey know, and how much i learned in their workshop.

I watched a jaquard loom weave a piece of cloth that i designed and then vat disharged with a shibori pattern

made a double weave with wool and cotton and felted the wool,

made my first woven shibori (twice) 

and made my first deflected doubleweave (that i traded for a cool ring that my friend made.)

so 5 weavings in two weeks > 3 weavings in one semester.

penland is one the best things ever invented.
