[Ag-eq] weaving in Richmond, VA

[pajohns1 at vt.edu]

        I believe there is a weaving loom at the Virginia Rehab Center for 
the Blind and VI.  When I visited the center in '07 it hadn't been used in 
quite some time, and if I recall correctly the crafts teacher at the center 
did not know how to use it.  Between your interest, the loom, and all the 
students who rotate through the center I'm sure the loom can be figured out.
