Update from Elfriede

By Leave a Comment

Dear Weavers,
because we have to stay home (and weave) for a while, some of our planned events are

cancelled:
There will be no study group meeting at Jessie’s house on April the 2nd.
The set up for our show at the Beachwood library on April 3rd is cancelled. The show will not

take place because the library is closed all of April. We do not know at this time when it will be open again.

We are still hoping to do the show in Chagrin Falls in June. We will keep you informed as to events there.

At this time there is no definite news about our meeting and workshop in April. It does not look too good, but Patty will be in touch when she has more information.

I hope you are all in good spirits and healthy. Keep sending pictures and news. Elfriede

Hi Weavers,
We are but a couple weeks away from our hanging of a show in Chagrin Falls. Here are some guidelines to make that exciting and successful.
Bring items to be hung to:
    May 2nd. Study Group at Jessie’s house
    May 16th Guild meeting at Praxis
    Or contact me directly to make arrangements individually
    I will return your items to you at the June 20th. meeting of the Guild.
    Chagrin Arts Gallery Space between Huntington Bank and Bell & Flower Restaurant
    Parking will be not only difficult, but a mess because of the carnival being set-up for the holiday weekend.
We need you to sign up to help demonstrate at the show. We will have a loom there for your imagination.
Here are the times for demonstrations:
                                1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Please email me or call me to sign up for a 2 hour shift. I really need your help! Please !
    for contact information, please consult our Guild roster
You will need the following information on each of your entries in the show:
    1. Item description    (example, Twill place mat)
    2. Yarn used            (example, cotton)
    3. Your Name
    4. Your city
    5. Price or NFS
    6. Value for insurance if NFS
Thank you all so much. This should be a great opportunity to have our Weavers Guild in the community.
Patty

Show Business—upcoming plans—Bravo Patty!

Hello Weavers,
As Exhibit Coordinator for the Guild, I was disappointed we were not able to schedule our regular show at the Beachwood Library in the Spring of 2019. After presenting some options to the Guild at our January meeting, I am very pleased to report we have a go-ahead for our show to be at the Chagrin Arts office showroom during May and the first week of June. I received enthusiastic responses to this option at the meeting. The visibility of this space is excellent for walking traffic in Chagrin Falls, especially during the event filled May and June months.
 We will be able to hang our show in Early May, have it available for Mother’s Day, Memorial Day and during the Art by the Falls art show June 8 & 9th.  The Executive Director of Chagrin Arts was also very enthusiastic to help us with opening hours, like week ends, and clearing the space of present art. The Director of the Valley Art Center was wonderfully supportive of the Guild’s show during Art by the Falls. This will mean we will want to set a schedule of weavers at our show during some of the greatest traffic times for the Village events. Maybe with demonstrations.
 I have a wonderful list of Show Committee volunteers with whom I will be in touch and we will send details to everyone in the next months. Meantime, of course– thinking of Spring, Weave On!
Patty Hridel
