One of the original High Desert Bead Society members and founder Stefania
Schollaert keeps in touch by sending photos of her fiber and bead adventures.
Here Stefania and her husband William visits the Folk Art Center north of the Blueridge Parkway. While enjoying the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Asheville, NC., Stefania thought of our Mountain Spinners and Weavers Guild here in Prescott.
The Center also houses history of Southern Appalachian craftsmanship.
Stefania writes, "We took a day trip up north to the Blueridge Parkway and stopped at the Folk Art Center. I immediately though of you when I saw the woven tapestries and looms. One of the looms is a Barn Loom. It is made with the post and beam technique and can be taken apart and put back together again."
It is always a treat to travel with my fber and bead friends. Thank you Stepania and I can't wait to hear about your bead adventures after moving to North Carolina.
