Sailing and Yurts

Sail boats and yurts depend on fabric arts to function. Sails are designed to catch the wind. Yurt coverings are designed to shed the wind. The three bands of rope that hold the wall covering to the frame and the crossed ropes on the roof that are lashed to the wall ropes are there to prevent your covering from becoming a sail.

New Yurt Cover

A new yurt cover was made for a material cost of $10 using fabric from RESTORE in Barre VT and a gift of sewing from Maggie Neale. WOW!

For Love of Yurts: The Book 2

For Love of Yurt, a book scheduled for publication near the end of this coming September, is now being edited. The book describes the step by step story of creating a yurt-home for less than $1000.

Days of Summer in Vermont

Summer is for swimming at Boulder Beach at Groton Lake birch high in the mountains, so very cool compared to the dog day of August in the lowlands.



Or summer is for performance dance at Bread and Puppet Theater in Glover, Vermont. Thank you Peter Schumann.
