LAKEPORT, Calif. – While weaving is an ancient and traditional craft, in the hands of dedicated and talented weavers, it’s also an art form.
Weaver extraordinaire Sheila O’Hara and her students returned to the Lake County Fair for the 10th year in a row to share and show their artwork.
On Saturday, several of the group were on hand for a demonstration using small table looms in the Little Theatre, which is the Textile and Clothing Building during the fair.
In the video O’Hara – who learned to weave as a child and holds a bachelor’s degree in weaving – and one of her students discuss their work and how their interest began.
O’Hara teaches all levels of weaving at my home studio on Tuesday afternoons and will have a booth at the upcoming Steele Wines Harvest Festival Oct. 13 and 14.
