Glimakra loom
A few weeks back I was very fortunate to purchase a used Glimakra loom, 8 harnesses.
I had been in need of a 8 harness loom at home. It took us 2 weeks to put it together and work out how to do the tie up. I had a friend helping me. Without her, it would have taken me a much longer time.
I have to say, it is wonderful to weave on it. Very smooth, great tension sysstem and no more pain in shoulders or neck. Best investment I ever made. And it is more beautiful then most of my living room furniture.
Can't wait to weave my other projects on it.

Visit to Leipzig, in particular the Grassi Museum
A few weeks a go, I visited a friend in Leipzig for a day. She is doing a residency at the Spinnerei.
The next day we went to the Grassi Museum which is actually 3 Museum in 1.
We had to go back twice to change our ticket since we were going to see exhibitions in different museums.
What stood out for me were the Josef-Albers-Fenster:
