In general, I have a hard time being a daytime person. Usually this matters not, but events like doctor’s appointments and in-person/live classes and meetings can be difficult. Saturday's plans included the ATA / Kennita Tully Soumak Class - starting at noon and running until 7PM. Zoom, yes, but still, yikes, a long day and emphasis on the day time requirement. Turns out it was not even a bit of a problem - I really wanted to explore more about soumak going into the class and Kennita is an exellent, engaging teacher. We learned and wove, had an anecdote or few, and learned and wove some more and all of a sudden, "Wait, is that the time?!" Now my only problem following the class is whether to sign on for her Elements class. It does hove a bit of price to it and I'd had plans to do some topestry exploration on my own, but... 10/10 for the class I just took - I’d be psyched to continue learning in a Kennita class and it does appear that Elements has a lot of subject to matter...
If anyone that happens to read this has taken/is taking the Elements class, I’d love to hear what you think...

(PS: Please forgive my yucky camera angle. The selvedges are straighter than they appear, I promise. How does one choose between comera/iPad shadow or skewed angles for in-progress shots, I wonder?)
