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.
