Mark Winter at the Southwest Traders Rendezvous

I hope you’ll enjoy hearing Mark Winter talk about a recent trading experience that he had with 94 year old weaver Clara Sherman.  Mark was at the the recent Southwest Traders Rendezvous in Cortez, Colorado and was participating in the show and tell portion of the program when he told this story on September 27, 2008.  Mark wasn’t using a microphone and turned away from the camera, so a few of his words get lost as he’s talking, but I think you can get the gist of the story, which is about three minutes long.

    kathleen higham: I'd like to join with you when it starts again!

    Mary Walker: The Munsell color system was developed to provide a precise numeric description of color based on hue, value or lightness and color purity (referred to by Munsell as chroma). This precision is helpful in mixing dyes to achieve the desired results. There is a Munsell study group on Weavolution.com, but I was too busy teaching right now to join. I hope there will be enough people interested to do another group later this year. If you haven't already joined Weavolution, I'd encourage you to do it. The current study group is called the Munsell+dye study group.

    Emmy: I'm curious now. What is a Munsell group? Thanks Emmy
