Guild show Teaneck, NJ

The Guild Show (same Guild who gave me the Study Award) is up and running full tilt here in Teaneck. My sales table always has a bit of a rummage sale display quality to it.

Partly that's just my nature but also I love that it forces customers to touch the rugs to see what lies beneath. Most have been taught not to touch and so much of the appeal of textiles is the feel or 'hand' of them. It's a delight to see the look on their faces when they discover the drape of a blanket or fineness of a rug that won't make the tiny dining room chair tilt.

The second picture is from the Guild School table, some prototypes for next year, some student projects from this year. The week I spend teaching there each June in Castine, ME is the best of my year.

Oh, customers here, back to work.
