The Weavers Guild of Minnesota is so sad to hear of the passing of Paw Boh Htoo. She and fellow Karen Weaving Circle members recently visited the Weavers Guild of Minnesota along with WGM members Keith Pierce, Connie Latendresse and Melba Granlund.
A fund has been created to support her family. You can donate to this fund here: https://www.youcaring.com/familyofpawbohhtoo-1005846

Paw Htoo was very passionate about her work with the weaving group (Karen Weaving Circle). She was so proud of each of the women in the group and eager to share the traditional art with everyone. She had many ideas and plans for what the weavers could do – including events, activities, classes in the local high schools, and more – and she always followed through. Peter Rachleff, Co-Executive Director of the East Side Freedom Library where the weaving circle met each week, said, “Paw Htoo was like a ray of sunshine in here. The comfort with which she moved back and forth between cultures gave me great hope for what’s possible.”
A 2017 Karen Women’s Weaving Project: A Closing Celebration is scheduled for November 29 from 6-9pm at the East Side Freedom Library. Details:
