Convergence! The National Fiber Conference

The Convergence organizing committee welcomed Weaving a Life to the conference, providing extra booth space for our community weaving program, using the first Story EarthLoom. A portable loom with feet, it's perfect for indoor weaving activities, as you will see from the photos.
