Weaver's Review
 
Nancy Brouillard, Leader
 
Las Arańas New Weavers Initiative Taskforce
 
Weavers’ Review is a set of programs designed to “review” the process of weaving. The programs are NOT beginning weaving classes. We assume you have, at least once, wound a warp, threaded a loom and woven a piece. It may have been two months, two years, or twenty years ago. But you are aware of the basic process to set up a loom to weave. Also, these are mostly demonstration only, not hands on. They are “Reviews.” All the programs will be held on Saturdays from 1:00 – 4:00 PM at the home of Ruth Ronan

Though the programs are FREE to participants, there are only a few caveats:

 

  • Please contact Nancy Brouillard (nbrouill@cybermesa.com). This is because we plan to have fairly detailed notes for each session. We want weavers to watch and not have to have their heads down writing. We’ll need to know how many copies to print and how many chairs to set up.

  • You must be a Guild Member to attend.
    Attend as many sessions as you can. They will not be tied to one another and missing one will not cause problems. For example, you do not need to attend the “Winding Warps” mini-workshop to attend the warping workshops. But attending all of them should give you more confidence to warp a loom and weave a project.

  • We’ll want feed back, both from those attending and those who could not, so that we can pursue further programs.

  • And as part of this New Weavers’ Initiative, we will also offer help to anyone outside of the scheduled programs. So, for example, if you want to attend one of the Guild’s sponsored workshops, but you feel you need assistance in preparing your loom, you can contact us and we will try and hook you up with someone to help you.
