Leslie has a question about EGLFC

By Leave a Comment

Chautauqua Institution
I’m going are you?
It’s hard for me to fly with a loom so I signed up for Felting with Renate Wade Moskowitz who supposibly fantastic! The problem is that so far only 3 people have enrolled so I hey might cancel the class. Would any of you be interested? CWG has had a good showing at EGLFC in the past because it’s a smaller conference, only a 2 1/2 hour drive, always at Chautauqua Institution, and always in October over Columbus Day weekend. I’d love to see all of you and my long term Chautauqua friends. Whaddayousay?

An offer of a Glimakra tapestry loom

By 4 Comments

This came via the website’s comments.  Anyone interested?

“DONATION
I have a Gilmakra upright tapestry loom that I’d like to donate, especially to an educational program. I find that I’m really not using it so want to pass it on. I have pictures showing the whole loom and a few more showing details if you are interested.

It could be used for a collaborative work or someone who wanted to develop their “free-form” weaving. The parts slip together and are held in place by pegs. It quickly ( 5 min. 2 people, 10 min. one) assembles and disassembles and is easy to store and and transport in most any car. quickly ( 5 min. 2 people, 10 min. one) assembles and disassembles and is easy to store and and transport in most any car. Assembled, it is about 40” wide and 5’tall. The active weaving area is about 3×3 but you can weave yards long pieces if you like.

If you are not interested any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!”

Countdown to Sunday’s Reception. Please join us.
