Maximo Laura Workshop 2023 in Yucay, Peru Presentation
Matty S, UK
"Just completed the 'Many Faces of Soumak' online course - a fascinating and very satisfying learning experience. Kennita explains each step very clearly, through videos and printable sheets, plus adds examples of how soumak, in all its forms, can be used in tapestry art. The course has opened my eyes to exciting new techniques to integrate into my own practice."
Jenny Chicone
"Kennita Tully has put together a unique workshop where she shares lots of techniques to create line and texture in tapestry weaving. Her workshop allowed me to learn techniques not found in my collection of ‘how to’ tapestry books. Watching Kennita’s excellent videos made the learning easy and the wonderful images she showed in her ‘slide show’ presentation were most inspiring!"
Joe Wigon
“This course was incredibly thorough. From the beginning there was a richness to the content. Kennita has great knowledge of the technique and presents it in a manner that is enjoyable. “
