Category Archives: Nancy Crow I’m here! Actually I got here yesterday evening, but was way too disoriented to do anything but sleep when I arrived. I’m staying with a very nice family in a charming house just a few miles from the Crow barn. Today was all about getting our work spaces set up, dinner and introductions. This is...

I’m enrolled in Carol’s Color Mixing for Dyers class in Auburn, NY this coming September. Is this the same class you’re taking? I’ll be standing by to hear of your experience in the class. Hope you enjoy it!  As mentioned earlier, Nancy Crow’s barn is situated on a five-acre farm near Columbus Ohio. I always feel a sense of relief when I get here… usually it’s been a long trip and with this place being so breathtaking and all, one can’t help but feel a sudden sense of peacefulness. The barn and yard... by robin no comments  For those of you who are even the slightest bit curious about what goes on at a Nancy Crow workshop, this post is for you. Nancy and her family live on a picturesque five-acre farm near Columbus Ohio. Each time I’ve been there, the weather has been different; once it snowed, once it rained and... by robin 4 comments

thanks for sharing your most recent experiences at Nancy’s. It is truly a gift to be able to work in a caring, sharing, refreshing environment because it is hard work. but rewarding. Love the new directions. Like Julie I love the variety of creams and the great dark organic lines.

I got female anatomy from that piece even before reading your comments about it. Maybe those are just “feminine” lines.

Robin, I met you at Nancy’s this Spring. I was in the dye studio with Carol Soderland’s class. We spoke briefly about children and parenting. I enjoy the way you share your experiences, almost as much as I enjoy your photography! My condolences to you and your family as you work through your recent loss of your dad. It is really tough. Your honesty and sharing of your feelings is amazing. Thanks for sharing your experiences at the Barn with Nancy. I am taking two weeks with her in the Fall after getting over my fears of listening to the myths surrounding her teaching style. Take care, Diana

i really love that cream and black line piece. it reminds me of some of the work by spanish artist pablo palazuelo who has a way of working with thin and thick lines and the forms they hold that is truly captivating. what an inspirational trip!  Not my fabric… just a shot I couldn’t resist. After dinner one evening, I was struck by the how the light from the setting sun cast it’s long rays over this set of fabrics. It was a particularly beautiful moment.I had forgotten to snap a picture of all my fabric before I zipped up my... by robin 5 comments

Seeing the photo brings back such GOOD memories of past classes at the barn. I look forward to hearing your thoughts about your week. Doing an independent study sounds very intense. Did you have daily discussions? Critique at the end? The learning experience in class with Nancy has been so thought provoking for me, I end up absorbing for months before realization and application finally touch my fingers and fabric. Nancy is THE teacher I most appreciate and admire. Lucky you!!!! Share please!! Liz

mmmm….look at all that fabric – yummm! I especially love the blues between the reds and purples, do you remember which dyes you were using for those? To my eye they don’t look like something I’d get with either turquoise or intense blue/cerulean (prochem/Dharma)which are my go to blues! Can’t wait to hear more about your trip!

Robin—-130 colors!!!! Amazing! You are a dyeing wonder!!! Hope you’re going to do some extra, so I can buy some! I’m sure you had a truly creative time with Nancy Crow–can’t wait to hear all about it!

Sometimes I feel like there are never enough colors of fabric or thread, but that is a lovely group you’ve got there.  Well, it’s not quite midnight, but I am working hard in my class. I have so much to tell you, and the scenery here is breathtaking, but it’s late and I do need to get some rest. My posts this week will have to wait… Wish I had more time… Wish I had better pictures.... by robin 2 comments

Robin–I am truly inspired by your creativity and courage to pursue your dream. Your work is amazing. Yes, get some sleep, but otherwise just simply absorb as much as you possibly can during your workshops. I can’t wait to see what you create; you are enormously talented! Go for it!!! |
Nancy’s commitment to doing the work is very commendable and it’s great to hear that she inspires others to put in the effort as well. I look forward to seeing where you take your most recent Crow inspiration.
