Several years ago, I discovered Avalanche Looms, tucked into the coolies of western Wisconsin. Avalanche is a little turn in a road with a few houses and businesses dotted closely together. It is there that I met Susan, extraordinary weaver, owner of the Avalanche Looms and its whimsical little store.
Susan inspired me to think about a creative spot of my own, someplace where being productive is not the bottom line. A place where I can be aimless and consider what it is to be me: what I truly like, who I truly am and what I want to pursue (besides aimlessness).
Her workshop has many windows in it, along with several looms and various projects she is working on. We had a great conversation there. I have been back several times, each time having a similar experience but I still don't have that space.
Although I currently cannot carve out a large workshop, I am working on organizing smaller areas in my house where certain resources are more accessible. I'm excited about that and will post pictures of these areas soon!
