Robyn Spady was introduced to handweaving at a young age and has been weaving for over 50 years. She completed HGA's Certificate of Excellence in Handweaving (COE-W) in 2004 with the specialized study Loom-controlled  Stitched Double Cloth. Robyn is fascinated by the infinite possibilities of crossing threads and loves coming up with new ideas to create fabric and transform it into something new ​and exciting. Robyn is also the founder and  editor of Heddlecraft® magazine.

A Parallel Threading is the Weaver's Playground
A parallel threading can provide a weaver with a multitude of options and patterns – from echo weaves and corkscrew twills to turned taqueté and network-drafted twills. Then add weft variations in color and texture and a weaver will find themselves in a playground of possibilities.
Workshop participants will pre-warp their loom from a selection of threadings and during the workshop enter into a journey of discovery and exploration of how to transform a parallel threading into a myriad of patterns. The workshop is a combination of presentation/discussion, weaving, and hands-on exercises. Emphasis will be on understanding the design and drafting processes to empower workshop participants to create their own patterns.
(Note: Participants weave on their own looms, four-shafts minimum; eight-shafts highly recommended.)

August 23-October 11 at the Albuquerque Open Space Visitors Center.
Background: In fall of 2024, the show Roots, the Unseen World was installed and displayed at the Albuquerque Open Space Visitors Center. This show is part 2 focusing on mycelium. (Mycelium is a network of thread-like fungal filaments that form a root-like structure. It's the vegetative body of a fungus, and it's found in soil and other substrates.)
The Mycelium Forest—the fiber component of the show—20-30 individual art pieces will be accepted to create the forest. They can be weaving, quilting, macramé, collage, assemblage, and any other creative representation of mycelium.
