I would be interested. It could be fun, and with Steve offering his expertise and shop for the venue, we may have eliminated many of the complicated details.

I like the idea! Of course time and scheduling constraints may be a problem.
Who are going to be the camp counselors? (OK my past is still with me).

Oh what fun! And the stories that will be told.

Elsie Stuehmeyer (my co-author and the woman I learned kiltmaking from) has been offering a kiltmaking camp for 15 years or more. It's held in conjunction with the Braemar School of Highland Dance every summer in June or early July in Troy, NY. You pay about $350, which covers lodging and meals at Emma Willard School (where they have the dance camp), you bring a kilt length of tartan, and the school lasts from Sunday night through Friday noon. Every year the camp runs, almost everyone finishes a kilt in that length of time, and those that don't have only a little more left to do. It is, in fact, how I learned how to make kilts. The camp typically has 8-10 participants.
It is _really fun_. If you guys ever wanted to run an XMarks kiltmaking workshop for people to learn how to make trad kilts, I'd love to teach it and, if it was possible to cover my travel, I'd do it for free.
Or, if you wanted to take Steve up on his offer, I'd love to come out to do the trad kilt part. And I could work with Steve on the book either before or after.
Cheers,
Barb
