Helena Richardson at Pinwheel Gallery event—Saturday, August 29

By Leave a Comment

Helena Richardson has invited us to come play show and tell at her gallery show on Saturday August 29th starting at 3 pm.

Bring something to demonstrate, or just yourselves to enjoy the ambiance. Let Victoria know your plans.
This is the perfect opportunity to come enjoy the 63 wonderful whimsically woven pieces she has filled the Pinwheel Gallery with.
It is definitely worth the trip to Old Brooklyn and a show that shouldn’t be
missed.

 

CWG will have weaving demonstrations on Saturday, August 29 at 3:00 pm

Thursday, May 21, 2026        With apologies to Elmer Fudd….

                                                        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”

Spring newsletter deadline is approaching—Sunday, March 1

By Leave a Comment

Spring is slowly moving our direction.  At least in our hopes.

Sunday, March 1  is the deadline for the newsletter.

Please send newsletter materials, especially items of recent doings and program notes for the upcoming CWG year. A President’s letter, program notes, study group notes 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.
