Joan sends this.

I thought that this might be of interest to the guild. There is a wonderful small show at Heights Arts (on Lee Rd next to the Cedar Lee theater.
It’s called Point-Line-Pattern-Plane.
The show runs 1/17-3/1.
The curator is Janice Lessman-Moss
Contributors are: Lauire Addis,  Lena Brebenel, Si-Yun Chang, Rebecca Cross, Hildur Asgeirsdottir Jonsson, Andrea Myers, Jessica Pinsky, and Katlin Shae.

Ekphrastacy: Artists Talk + Poets Respond will be Thursday, 2/13 at 7 pm at the gallery
The write-up explains this a “an opportunity for visual artists, poets and the community to connect in discussion over the evening’s array of artworks. Hear the artists speak personally about their process and thoughts behind their work.”

Both the exhibit and 2/13 program are free

She says, “the exhibit is small, but terrific.  Hope you are able to go see it.”

Happy weavers, happy new year! There will not be a normally scheduled study group meeting for January. We have no hostess nor presenter signed up. Thus there will be a wonderful time to work on your Pictorial. We look forward to seeing everyone, Feb 6th, 2020  at Miriam’s house, 10:00 am with Victoria and Miriam presenting.
Our February program for the Guild is to go to Lake Farm Park to enjoy the fabulous annual quilt show. We have the inside experts, Sheri Gittinger and Joan Horwich to give us pointers about the quilts, categories, ribbons and many aspects of quilting many of us weavers know not. There will be a sign up sheet at the Jan. 23rd, 2020meeting or  please call or email Patty to have your name put on the list. There is no charge for this program and we will have a room for our brown bag lunch or buy  from their cafe.

Yer Granny’s Overshot – with Janet Dawson – March 28 & 29, 2020

This round robin workshop will cover overshot basics like identifying blocks, tromp-as-writ, star vs. rose fashion, and opposites. With that foundation, we’ll move beyond traditional patterns and treadling to variations like Italian, flamepoint, swivel, petit point, shadow, treadled as lace, and more. If time allows, we’ll also look at name drafting and other methods of designing original overshot patterns for four shafts.

 

The cost of our comprehensive overshot workshop includes pre-wound warps and weft, as well as substantial handouts.
