I like teaching a lot. Especially if the students are willing to get into the subject. The photo was taken yesterday when I was teaching the indirect tacketing to (sadly only) one student. I would have liked at least another student at the same time, but other that that I really enjoyed myself – and I think she enjoyed it, too.
We jumped into the matter immediately with cutting and folding the paper into signatures to give them some time to relax under a weight. Then I had time to explain some more theory and how we were going to proceed. This was when the picture was taken.
Later she said that for her doing the primary sewing on the book was the hardest part. – But she did really well!
At some point my little friend on the left came visiting. – I see this squirrel every other day. I think it digs in stuff into my plant boxes. A good reason to stop caring for them – I rather want the squirrel return than tidy flower boxes.
And there she is done. I think she was surprised by her own abilities in the end and quite pleased with her book.
You may have noted the similarities between us: Yes, she’s one of my sisters. Now that I have tested this workshop program successfully, I have added it to my homepage as a regular course. Have a look! http://buechertiger.de/
Tacketing is something I haven’t tried yet but I’ve been reading about it so as usual you have inspired me. While it’s a shame you only had one student for this workshop I’m sure your sister really enjoyed having your sole attention.
