Recurring events
|
Due to Covid -19 precautions, all hands-on public events have been cancelled until further notice.
Small interest groups have been meeting outdoors during the summer. As colder weather and Covid has curtailed our small meetings, we have devised a plan. Several small study groups will be meeting at the Jansen Art Center and will follow all Covid protocols. |
There will be a maximum of 5 people per group, and a small fee per person, to cover costs. To meet at the Jansen Center, an annual membership in the Jansen Center is required. Social distancing and masks will be observed at all times. Each meeting is limited to five people. If more than five are interested, a waiting list for a second group will be formed. To register, please contact the coordinator through the Guild email, info@whatcomweaversguild.org.
As of October 2020, the following study groups are scheduled to meet at the Jansen Center:
Eco Dye
Rigid Heddle Weaving
Tapestry Weaving
Mentoring and assistance in warping looms for the Guild 2020 Challenge, VAV Hand towels project, or personal projects is available on a one-on one basis, remotely, or in Bellingham, at a member’s private studio. Contact info@whatcomweaversguild.org with your questions. A phone, email, zoom or in-person appointment will be set up to help you out!

About Our Upcoming Events
November 20, 2021 - Liz Moncrief - Handweaving Design using a Computer Program
Liz Moncrief Liz and her husband & dog moved to WA from CO in the spring of 2014 after retiring from the US Forest as a Forester and Land Manager. Liz is a frequent Handwoven author for Yarn Labs, project articles and blogs - many of which cover loom mechanics and repairs. She also rehabs 3-4 looms a year and then adopts them out to students. She instructs beginning weaving for Skagit College and tutors individuals, but also offers several more advanced weaving workshops and guild programs. She maintains a studio for teaching and can be found online at Www.aweaversway.com.
Intro to the Marvelous World of Computerized Drafting. This program uses the two major drafting programs available for download onto your own system - Fiberworks and Tempoweave. Both programs offer essentially the same tools, just in a different format. This is designed to be an INTRO to computerized drafting to dazzle the newbies and bring them onboard. Current users will pick up a few tricks, too.
