Yamaguchi san started her third back-strap loom project. This time as warp kasuri. Here she is patiently tying up the resists. They will be dyed with indigo and then the wrap removed.

Tsumugi, Kasuri and Katagami hori
It was a quiet class day with everyone concentrating on their projects. Kamei san's carpet made a few rows of progress.
Tanaka san spun silk floss on my spinner for the first time. She had pulled floss like they do for Yuki tsumugi for her graduation project last month at the Kurashiki one year textile program. This hand spun thread will be dyed and used for warp and weft of her first back-strap loom project.
With so many fresh leaves outside they were the natural subject for a new stencil project. I drew it out on paper to give them the idea (it was slightly more complicated this time) and they drew their patterns out on persimmon paper and started cutting them out.
