Point-Line-Pattern-Plane exhibit at Heights Arts

January 26, 2020 By Nancy Leave a Comment

Joan sends this.

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.”

CWG First Study Group is Thursday, October 3

September 26, 2019 By Nancy Leave a Comment

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!

Any interest in this antique rug loom? The details come to us via Nancy Curtiss

August 3, 2019 By Nancy Leave a Comment

Sturdy antique rug loom looking for a loving home or community historical society setting. This has been in our family for over 75 years.

This loom is very solid, and has all parts. Looks to be circa 1900? Special features include:

Original wire heddles and reed
Solid iron ratchet and pawl for both the warp and cloth beams Counterbalance action with chain support of the shafts
Spring return action on the beater
Sectional warp beam
Large post and beam construction
Floor footprint approx. 4’x6’

The loom just needs some TLC and minor support bracing repair, but it’s all around solid. No bench included, but the current owner has a basket with original rag shuttles to go with the loom.

For pickup only, no shipping available. This loom is located in Madison—Lake County, Ohio.

For inquiries, please contact: Christy 440.796.6679cmb1202@gmail.com
