I thought that this might be of interest to the guild. There is a wonderful small show at Heights Arts (on Lee Rd next to the Cedar Lee theater.
It’s called Point-Line-Pattern-Plane.
The show runs 1/17-3/1.
The curator is Janice Lessman-Moss
Contributors are: Lauire Addis,  Lena Brebenel, Si-Yun Chang, Rebecca Cross, Hildur Asgeirsdottir Jonsson, Andrea Myers, Jessica Pinsky, and Katlin Shae.

Ekphrastacy: Artists Talk + Poets Respond will be Thursday, 2/13 at 7 pm at the gallery
The write-up explains this a “an opportunity for visual artists, poets and the community to connect in discussion over the evening’s array of artworks. Hear the artists speak personally about their process and thoughts behind their work.”

Both the exhibit and 2/13 program are free

She says, “the exhibit is small, but terrific.  Hope you are able to go see it.”

STUDY GROUP 2019 – 2020

It took very little time for Study Group to find a topic for 2019-2020 to weave and learn when we met at Jessie’s house in May. We enthusiastically decided on “Weave a Pictorial! “ And what a variety of structures or methods we discussed.  

Here are some of the ideas for how to weave a pictorial.

Tapestry

Pick Up

Double Weave

Rya

Split Shed Biederwand

We offer very few restrictions, just weave something, in your choice of structures that has a picture quality to it. A few years ago, we took a survey of the people who came to our show at the Beachwood Library and the favorite piece was Nancy’s tapestry—a pictorial. So, this exercise may produce some new energy to our shows this year. 

Our first Study Group gathering will be at Patty’s house, 10 am, October 3, 2019. Please come prepared to sign up for hosting or presenting for the year. Please check the address on our Guild roster.

Have fun and weave on!

We have a field trip planned for April 18th to the Finnish Heritage Museum in Fairport Harbor. We will have a private tour of the textiles, led by Rebecca Steinbeck. I hope you will join us and connect with others to carpool.

Please e-mail me (beemerquilter@yahoo.com) if you plan to join us for lunch, which will be at 11:00 at Fairport Family Restaurant, 212 High St. (walking distance to the museum). Hopefully we can have a quick meeting, eat and socialize before heading over to the museum. I just need to get a head count so I can call the restaurant to reserve space for us, so don’t forget to let me know you are attending.

Thanks and looking forward to seeing you. Hoping for warm weather!   Sheri
