Haystack Summer Arts Program

Members of a summer arts program at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Deer Isle, Maine, requested a class with Susan Barrett Merrill at her studio in Brooksville, Maine.

Summer students from Haystack visited Susan Barrett Merrill's studio to weave amulets on Journey Looms, small lap-size EarthLooms.

Susan taught them how to wind "cocoons" as alternative to balls of yarn.

The students were very happy with the outcome. Each took back an amulet, containing their own intentions for their lives.
