Weaving and other fiber-based fun for 45 years and counting
Thursday, October 5, 2023, 10:00am
An RSVP will be most welcome.
Please come to Patty’s house for our first Study Group meeting of the weaving year. Please bring a bag of beautiful yarns, long enough to be usable, hopefully they will look pleasant together and see what happens as we exchange. Study group is open to any member of the Cuyahoga Weavers Guild.
Study Group has the deliciously intriguing title “Grab Bag Texture Project.” What’s that ask you? Even were I to be able to really explain it, I might wait for our first meeting and have the fun of everyone sharing their own description. Surely that will be inspirational! My notes say—
Texture
Fiber (with texture I think) to share
Surprise Bag
Exchange
Combine with my own

BOTANICAL
In May, Study group gathered for the finale of the year and harnessed the concept for our coming year Study topic, Botanical. 
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
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.
March 2 Study Group is postponed until April 6.
Plan on bringing your exhibition work to this meeting. details of the exhibit are forthcoming.
