Please check out pages 5 and 6 in this corrected edition of the Spring newsletter. Editor apologies.
March 2 Study Group is postponed until April 6.
Plan on bringing your exhibition work to this meeting. details of the exhibit are forthcoming.
Please send newsletter materials, especially items of our doings and program notes for the CWG spring 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.

Here’s our mission.
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.
January 19, 2023 10:00 am
Meet at The Cleveland Museum of Art for our favorite docent, Laura Martin, to lead us through the Cycles of Life: Four Seasons Tapestries. The set of four tapestries depicting the seasons have been harbored from view because of their fragility since 1953. After extensive restoration, these jewels of our museum will be on view only one more month.
Meet at 10:00 to gather, tour to begin at 10:15.
Next study Group is February 2. Host TBA
