Throw in the Towel: Information and Inspiration
About Throw in the Towel: Information and Inspiration
Kitchen Towels (aka dish towels, tea towels, bar towels, glass towels) are the workhorses of the weaving world. By popular opinion they are the most often woven project and not only fulfill a practical functional role, but also make happily received gifts and highly successful sale items. But why weave towels when big box stores can sell them in great quantity at a fraction of the cost of materials, not to mention our time? Simple! These functional items can be items of beauty and creativity, a joy to weave. The purpose of my talk will be to provide tips on how to make towels you will proudly give, use, sell, display and maybe even exchange. Come join me for information and inspiration as well as Q and A on weaving a perfect towel. I will include lots of “eye candy” in my slide presentation and suggest many resources.
