| images | Follow the Thread (above, front and back); in honor of Archie Brennan, Master Weaver and Instructor (1931-2019) The tapestry postcard banner honoring our teachers and influencers is a homage to Archie Brennan, who wove and mailed his first tapestry piece in 1974. Archie, always contrarian, decided to weave a simple postcard, something that would normally take a few minutes to fill out, that instead required hours of planning and execution.
