When the computer gobbles my photos!

Sorry for the delay in getting these photos posted!
I had the work computer gobble some of the pics I'd 
taken and was SO upset and frustrated I hadn't been 
able to  post the rest ...until now. Thankfully, one of 
our visitors came back and had taken photos on their
 phone so I was able to arrange getting a copy of them
 to replace the ones I'd lost.So, without further ado..
This is Brittany Trask with her Nana, Barbara Taylor.
Brittany is a student at Auckland University studying
Marine Science and was up visiting her Nana for 
a break. Barbara has previously brought in other 
grand-daughters to see the tapestry and do some weaving.

Denise and Daniel Ellis, are locals and hosting a Japanese
 student. Denise has a go on the mini loom while her husband
 talks to Tapestry Host, Naoko about the community project 
and the students from Japan work on the main tapestry loom.

Aafie is 9 years old and has her own loom.
Her friend Dillon is 7 years old.

Aafie is a very confident weaver for her age!

20 July 2014

School Holidays are nearly over so
 there's been lots of families calling in to 
The BACH to see the Tapestry Project.
 
 Sandra shows young Chloe, from Kamo
 how to weave on one of our mini-looms
with Mum watching from behind her.
 Chloe is 6 years old and attend Huripaka School.
 Chloe enjoys making things and her 
Mum said she does loom band bracelets. 
Dad is going to make Chloe her very own
 loom so she can practice weaving at home!
 Naoko has been working on the 
girl's hair and has finally completed it!
