John attends yoga classes each week at the Hillsboro Yoga studio. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the studio, owner Brandt invited all the yoga students to share their talents one Saturday afternoon. There would be a gallery upstairs for the visual arts, and a performance space downstairs for singers and musicians. We heard wonderful bagpipes, intriguing medieval musicians, and a young violinist. Upstairs among the photographers and painters, we set up a display about John’s weaving–which started with the farm, the sheep, the shearing, the spinning, the dyeing, and finally the weaving itself. Many people stopped to admire the weaving and ask questions.
