DocuSign Envelope ID:70E97245-CBDE-4A68-90A8-9FB875F7C092 <br /> May 27, 2017 <br /> To Whom It May Concern: <br /> I am writing in support of Dawn Hummer's proposal to the Artists' Project Grant Program. I have <br /> known Dawn only a short time through the Triangle Weavers Guild but I have been very impressed by <br /> both her weaving skills and her interest in sharing her knowledge with the greater community. <br /> I had met with Kim Lamon-Loperfido about the Guild conducting a class at the Seymour Center. I knew <br /> that Dawn would be the best person to carry this through. Her interest in Saori weaving (a fairly <br /> freeform type of weaving that can accommodate physical and developmental differences)would be <br /> perfect for this class. And so it was. <br /> We also had Dawn present a program about Saori weaving at our monthly meeting. It was a fascinating <br /> presentation and particularly appealed to those looking for a less physically demanding yet creatively <br /> satisfying method of weaving. Iwas impressed by the number of looms and displays that Dawn brought <br /> —but it all added to the success of her presentation. She never hesitated to share her equipment <br /> despite the labor of getting it to the Seymour Center. <br /> Dawn's request for funding for smaller, more easily transportable looms would be a benefit for years to <br /> come. The same effort it takes to transport larger looms can easily be used to carry additional, smaller <br /> looms. In turn, more people would be able to take advantage of Dawn's excellent teaching ability. <br /> On a personal note, my 91 year old friend is quite interested in my weaving, a craft she learned 75 years <br /> ago. Our discussions of what I'm doing, and my periodic show and tell, have provided many hours of fun <br /> conversation and a special bonding experience. <br /> I fully support Dawn's efforts to bring this joy and satisfaction to many more at the Seymour Center. If <br /> you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. <br /> Peggy Sanford, President <br /> Triangle Weavers Guild <br /> sanfordm@earthlink.net <br />
