Poi Workshops at Firedrums, California

What an expansive experience! Spinners from all over the world congregated in the Santa Cruz mountains to learn and share object manipulation arts. Countries represented include Japan, France, Scotland, Ireland, Sweden, and of course people from all over the US.

I learned so much and want to thank all of the people who taught poi workshops. It was amazing to see how many different directions people have taken the art! I look forward to next year -- oh, the places we will go!

Special thanks to Ian George for driving me, and to Kael for putting together the video below -- there's a part two also. It really captures the event!
