Cuyahoga Weavers Guild

Weaving and other fiber-based fun for 45 years and counting

CWG September meeting is Thursday, September 17

By Leave a Comment

Our September 17th meeting at the Warrensville Library will include a presentation by Paula Damm.   https://www.pauladammart.com/

Paula uses a nontraditional approach to weaving as a response to emotional events.

Her storytelling uses mixed mediums and she considers the crossing of threads as a broader metaphorical statement.

Lunch starts at 11:30. Meeting and presentation to follow.

Fall newsletter deadline is approaching—Tuesday, September 1

By Leave a Comment

September 1 is on its way. Be sure to send your submissions anywhere near that date.

Please send newsletter materials, especially items of summer doings and program notes for the upcoming CWG year. A President’s letter, program notes, study group ideas and member’s news will all be welcome.

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.

In earlier discussions about the foibles of our weaving work might fit into a new 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.

                                                        Let’s see what’s “weft in the shed”  😉
If inclement weather interferes, the rain date is Friday, May 22
This meeting has an unusual twist. It is a work session.
We meet at the home of Victoria, the site of CWG’s library and its loom and equipment stash.
Long in need of an inventory and clean out, we are lending our hands.  Come prepared to go through the sheds. Sort, count and tidy. Dress accordingly. Shoes that can stand soggy ground is recommended.   The CWG Library will also be open for your perusal. You will be astonished.
Meet at Victoria’s home in Cleveland Heights at 11:30.**
**Volunteer to come early to help with tables and chairs for the lunch. Let Victoria now your plans on that point, please.
Bring your lunch, as desired.
Save your Show and Tell offerings and Study Group projects for the June 18 picnic to allow the maximum efforts “in the Shed”
