As a #DigitalMuseum, CKC relies on #technology for our #CommunityCollection and #LibraryAndMuseumCollections. This also allows the pieces in our museum to be available for you 24/7! Explore our collections at our link in bio! #SeptTextileLove #SeptTextileLove25 #STL25Day22

In the last year, CKC has had a lot of #growth- expanding our programs, reach, and board of directors! We still have one open position on our board and would love to have you! Learn more and apply at our link in bio!

Day 4: WARPED
Before I moved to NM, I thought I'd finally have time to weave. Ha! I taught at @evfac_ & met weavers who descibed WARPING. I can buy weaving.
In 2020, times were hard. I wove w/Zoom. To this day, it remains on its cardboard loom.
