There are many guild members who have followed Sara's work on her blog spothttp://saralamb.blogspot.com over recent years. [Her web site is www.saralamb.com] On her blog Sara generously describes in detail her techniques, patterns, ideas and reflections on life. She has been published on numerous occasions in Interweave Press publications, including Handwoven and Spin Off. Sara has coauthored 'Color by Number' with Deb Menz, (refer blog 29/4/05) and they are currently working on the following volume. These books contain actual samples of dyed yarns.__Sara describes her daily work as 'ethnic inspired contemporary weaving, spinning and dyeing, using traditional techniques, low-tech and simple tools to produce textiles from rugs to garments.' Her work often features silk yarns in brilliantly dyed colours. Some of the traditional techniques that she employs include knotted pile weaving using her hand-spun, and hand-dyed silk yarn, and also braids incorporating different methods of construction. Her interests are wide ranging and she draws her inspiration from many different sources. Her blog spot is always a joy to read and view, as her notes and photographs help give a very personal connection with her on-going work and how it is constructed. It's a bit like visiting a close friend, and also like being in touch with her wider circle of friends.__As a longtime spinner, dyer and weaver, Sara enjoys sharing these crafts in publications, lectures, workshops and seminars. She maintains a working studio, (a red yurt), and travels to fibre related conferences in the US, Canada, England, and now Australia. __Photos of Sara's work are available on Flickr,

Dear Sara, really looking forward to learn about your dyeing & would love to know how you 'built' your red yurt.
Dear Sara,
I dip in and out of your blogs. I have always wondered where you get your energy from. You always have so many projects on the go. I am looking forward to meeting you at Bothwell.
