The Story of the Traveling Scarf: A Short Film by Nora Werme

At SAORI Worcester: 131 Highland St.

Local Filmmaker Nora Werme created this 20-minute film to express her joy in weaving in the improvisation SAORI style, and to show the reactions of her family to the 26-foot she wove, as it got included in family reunion photo shoots, wrapped around babies and newlyweds, and eyed by skeptical "what's-it-good-for" male relatives. The film introduces SAORI teacher Mihoko Wakabayashi, who explains the four core principles of SAORI weaving, and a 9-year-old boy weaving prodigy with a mysterious smile. Light refreshments and friendly conversation!
