Cheryl White. Local Weaver to Demonstrate 11am-3pm
“I look forward to meeting each of you Saturday, at Southland Jubilee, 11am-3pm as I demonstrate on my loom at Genuine Georgia. I have stocked the store with a wide variety of styles of woven dishtowels and hand towels so the selection is wonderful.” Smiles Cheryl White, as she talks and weaves. Her husband Michael loves to find old, well-worn looms, restore them, let Cheryl weave on it for a while, sell it and then proceed to find another one. Therefore, the variety of styles of weaving are broad and so fun to watch. Cheryl has a whole set of Dogwood pastels that are woven with Georgia cotton dyed by Michael for her use. Come see Cheryl in action Saturday!
