November 3, 2022 By Nancy Leave a Comment

Cuyahoga Weavers Guild Study Group
Time: Thursday,November 3, 2022 10:00 AM

Joan Horwitz will be our host.  RSVPs are appreciated.

Here’s our mission.

BOTANICAL

In May, Study group gathered for the finale of the year and harnessed the concept for our coming year Study topic, Botanical. pastedGraphic.png

Whether you choose:

a fiber (i.e., hemp, cotton, bamboo, linen,)

a dye (i.e., indigo, madder)

a subject (i.e., weave a pictorial, tapestry, a color flow as in botanical subject)

a botanical object to weave (i.e., a three-dimensional object maybe, or felt?)

or a combination

pastedGraphic_1.png

The choices are vast, there being almost no restrictions. Using imaginations and all the resources we have available to us; this should prove to be a wonderful project. And exceedingly interesting for our exhibit that will be on display in April.

Bring your current work, questions, show and tell.

October 21, 2022 By Nancy Leave a Comment

After everyone left the meeting we found a white cable (C to USB) between the last two tables and toward the windows.
Isn’t this yours?

CWG Meeting and Workshop is Thursday, October 20

October 13, 2022 By Nancy Leave a Comment

Cuyahoga Weavers Guild meeting and Workshop

RSVP to Patty, especially for the workshop

Arrive ay 11:00 (earlier than usual) to allow time for both. Bring your brown bag lunch and beverage.

Warrensville Heights Library.   4415 Northfield Road.   Warrensville, OH 44128

Beaded Bracelets on a Bow

Tracy Jackson is joining us

to guide us through a mini workshop for our October meeting. Brown bag lunch and a short meeting will happen before we start our class promptly at noon. Beads must be strung before class begins so that we all start and progress together. Be prepared! We’re gonna get pretty and primitive.

You will need:

5 strands of 5/2 cotton

each 48 inches long for warp. Knot these threads together at one end.

Bring some of the same for your weft.

200 size 6 “E” seed beads.

A standard 9 gram tube holds approximately 130 beads, so you will need 2 tubes.

Thread 100 beads each onto 2 of your 5 warp strands before class begins.Tie an easily removable knot in the ends so the beads do not escape.

$5 for the loom kits Tracy will provide.

We will produce beautiful bracelets with beaded selvedges.

Bow Loom Weaving

Please have the warp beaded and ready to attach to the bow before the meeting.

Cut 5 warp ends of size 5 perle cotton, each 48” long. Tie the group together with an overhand knot about 1” down from one end.

Choose 2 strands and string size 6° beads,100 on each strand, 200 beads total. This works easiest with a dental floss threader. Tie a slip-knot in each beaded strand to keep the beads from falling off.

This is a weft faced weave, any color will be fine, black or navy may not be the best choice for the first piece. Variegateds weave up as stripes and can be fun to do. Any color size 6° beads, solid or variegated, is fine.

Supplies to bring:
weft (same as warp)
extra beads
scissors
light or magnifier if needed

All other materials will be provided for around a $5 kit fee.
