School of Syracuse - "The Art
of Weaving in Native American
Cultures"
Teaching
artist and weaver Sarah Saulson
works with a student at a floor
loom.
She
then teaches what she learned to
another student.
Two
students look on as another weaves
at a table loom.
A
student works on his weaving in
front of a tipi.
Sarah
and a student work together at
the loom in the gallery.
Small
table looms were available in the
classrooms so students could weave
during the school day.
A
student watches intently while
another weaves.
A
primary student uses a loom comb
to tighten the weft strips on
the standing loom.
Older students
taught weaving techniques to younger
ones.
Examples
of Native American weaving and
a loom are in the school gallery
for students
and visitors to view.
A
student talks about the weaving
with a visitor from the Nottingham
- the school has an ongoing relationship
with the Nottingham Senior Living
Center.
