Digital image scanned from a 35mm black and white negative of textiles instructor Dr. Toyin Oguntona helping Margaret Hoeing with a textile project at the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts during the 1974 annual summer session. Hoenig, who sits on a stool, wears shorts, a tank top, and a bandana on her head. On her lap is a piece of fabric with several small bunches. She holds a thread with her proper right hand to make these small bunches. To her proper left, Dr. Oguntona sits on a lower chair, wears shorts and a light color shirt. He is leaning back and seems to be helping and directing Hoenig on her craft. Two other campers work on their weaving project in the background.
