Cuyahoga Weavers Guild

Weaving and other fiber-based fun for 45 years and counting

newsletter

CWG Newsletter contributions are due December 1

November 17, 2022 By Nancy Leave a Comment

As autumn is offering its usual mix of lovely and foreboding skies, please mark your calendar for the December 1 newsletter deadline.

Please send newsletter materials, especially items of our doings and program notes for the CWG winter season.

No doubt that photos of your projects, a new technique or yarn you are trying,  or a weaving reference book you have discovered will be welcome. Or even an essay about your weaving adventures, discoveries, or compatriots. Perhaps a quandary that you would like help with.

If you find weaving foibles showing up, send something for our column based on Penelope’s weaving tactics——you know, the part where she weaves and unweaves.  We all have stories about our version, so please send yours.

We are continuing our spotlight biographies of our members. It would be lovely if profiles of our newest members were included. Consider writing this up.

Please consider sharing about your favorite weaving books–your trusted standbys and new-to-you inspiring titles.

“Mea culpa”, says the newsletter editor

March 9, 2022 By Nancy Leave a Comment

This slipped by and it’s a good one shared by member, Laura Martin.
CWG members would like to be reminded that the Cleveland Museum of Art currently has several important textile installations on view.
First, there is a new installation in the Andean gallery of unusual rare and spectacular ancient textiles from the Wari, Moche, and Nasca cultural groups (among others) including the gorgeous macaw feather panel (from 600-900 CE). I’m doing a college tour in there tomorrow and have been reminding myself of how extremely skilled the ancient Andean textile artists were! (That show is up until December.)

And in the textile gallery there is an exhibition of the rare and complete set of The Four Seasonstapestries designed around 1535 and woven in second half of the 1600s. They have not been on view since 1953 because of condition issues, but have now been fully conserved and are spectacular! The themes of the exhibition is the production, alteration, and recent conservation treatment. Very informative. (They will be on view for the next year.)

This is our last sale from this location

Combining the curiosity of 7 fiber working women, this is the last stash of weavers that the craft has lost. It will be an epic sale of the century. We have looms, spinning wheels, tools and equipment, yarn, books and magazines concerning weaving, spinning, knitting and crochet, needlework and quilting, leather, lace and felting. These artistic souls studied all forms and facets of fiber, and what they left behind needs new hands and new homes. Prices are so low, it’ll definitely be worth the drive from anywhere.
