I took a wonderful workshop this week sponsored by the Southern California Handweavers Guild on Four Selvedge Wedge Weave taught by Michael Rhode.
What a fabulous weekend. Michael is a great instructor on a tricky topic. If you have a chance to take this workshop - do so. You will not regret it.

Oh you are so lucky to have taken a workshop with Michael Rohde. I love your mini tapestry with both the wedge weave and traditional tapestry elements. Does Michael make the looms that you purchased? I weave mini tapestries on a Mirrix. Do you think the four selvedge technique can be done on that? Thank you!
