That lozenge pattern element is not a photograph, but a scan. So it should be to scale. But I pinned...

Well, this is certainly developing into an interesting discussion.
Firstly, going from that lovely l...
Planning. Your input is welcome.
There's planning going on here - planning where your input would be more than welcome...
I've been discussing, with one of the organisers, the workshops at the Hochmittelaltertreffen Jerichow. I will definitely offer my spinning workshop and teach spinning with distaff and spindle, but there is ample room for more than one workshop during the week-and-a-bit that I will be there.
However, it's always hard to guess what people would like to see, or learn. I was thinking about a tablet-weaving class to teach brocading, or one that teaches the broken twill technique for tablet weave, but there's so many other options too... embroidery (including gold embroidery), loopbraiding, theoretically also netting (but only theoretically, since I don't have enough netting needles at the moment, and will probably not get more in time), ...
If you could have your perfect workshop - what would you like to learn? Or what would be your expectations? Please let me know in the comments, that would be really helpful for me. (And if you are going to the event, do tell me, too!)

Although I cannot attend your workshops at Hochmittelaltertreffen Jerichow, I have definite ideas of the types of workshops I would like to see offered if I could attend. I think a workshop to teach brocaded tablet weaving would be an excellent choice, because that technique is intimidating to many of us (certainly to me) and probably much harder to learn from books and videos rather than a workshop.
