Weavers' pageWeavers Study GroupA new Weavers Study Group will begin directly after the business portion of our September 29 Guild Meeting. The recent survey showed that most participants were interested in exploring and experimenting with doubleweave. We are extremely grateful to Kathy Remsa, Guild member, who has volunteered to coordinate the program. The WSG will meet on alternate months beginning in September. All members are welcome to participate. If you would like more information before the group meets, please contact Meg at woodwin1 (at) optonline.net.The Small Looms GroupWe are a group of weavers and aspiring weavers who gather to share and learn about different ways to weave, or just to hang out and weave together. Originally held at the Pemberton Library, the Small Looms Group now meets at the Mount Holly Library, from 10:30 to 1:30 on the first or second Saturday of the month. (we share the room with the spinners) Any type of small portable loom is welcome, including table loom, rigid heddle, backstrap, inkle, card, frame, tapestry, or potholder. A limited number of looms are available to Guild members for short term loan. Or we can get you started making your own loom. Come join us!For more information, contact Trisha: trisha (at) yahoo dot com Tapestry Study GroupBetsy Snope and Rita Landau teach a tapestry class every Thursday from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. The group meets either in Medford Leas or Cherry Hill in their respective homes. Beginners are welcome, as well as those who have had tapestry weaving experience. The looms that are used are very simple and inexpensive to make and there is very little initial outlay for supplies. During the course of the classes Betsy and Rita teach how to warp the loom, practice basic techniques and discussion of design and material issues.
