The Class From January to March, I finished my series of groups from the Graduation photo. I love some of them, not so much some others. De janvier à mars, j’ai terminé ma série de groupes de La Classe. J’en aime certains, d’autres moins. Another tapestry from the same inspiration is about to be done

I was lucky enough to be part of a workshop in Aubusson with Alain Chanard. Alain Chanard is a master weaver, and is known as a great « faiseur de chair », meaning he can weave faces, skins, hair… You can learn more on this here. Here are some of his tapestries (and yes, they are tapestries!) This

More than a year now! I was lazy, and very busy, catching up life after Covid. Lots have happened, but as a quick summary let’s say 2022 was Alice and Anita’ year, now on display at Galerie Dor in Aubusson. Ca fait plus d’un an! J’ai eu la flemme, j’ai été très occupée aussi à

I visited this exhibition in this very interesting small museum in the town of Jouy-en-Josas, in the South of Paris. There was a lot of beautiful textiles, and an interesting parallel between those and European printed textiles made in Jouy as soon as the 18th century.

Life is short, we’re getting older” (Fred Astaire), and before it’s too late, I want to reconnect with what I always liked, and wanted to study and share: making textiles, textures and jewels. So here I am, and this blog will be a piece of the sharing part. I will try to post weekly, on what I do, but also on textiles I love, blogs I discover, books I read.
I bet I will struggle with technology, (it’s my first blog) and with English, which is not my mother tongue. I made the choice of English because the online weaving community is mostly English speaking .
Et pour vous, mes amis français, un résumé de tout ça : la vie est courte, et il y a des tas de choses que j’ai envie de faire et de partager, alors je me lance dans ce blog, on verra bien.
