The weather turned cold and wet in Tennessee a few days ago, making it the perfect time to stay inside and learn something new at the Sarratt Art Studios of Vanderbilt University in Nashville. I learned about tapestry crochet in Guatemala. A few of the participants in my Felted Tapestry Crochet Bag workshop were Guatemalan so tapestry crochet came full circle over the weekend! In fact, the gentleman on the right (below) is from Jacaltenango, the remote town where I was a Peace Corps volunteer in the 1970’s. Small world!
Hopefully, everyone who participated will help spread the news about this wonderful technique by teaching tapestry crochet to others who will teach it to others who will teach it to others . . .
