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
April 17, 2021 – Fine Gelfand - Pandemic Pandemonium variations on a theme; "Knit 1 + Felt 1"
Join Fine Gelfand for a Zoom presentation documenting her spontaneous exploration of a subject that caught her imagination early last year. During the pandemic she immersed herself in the excitement and urgency of a new project. Her obsession revolved around how to creatively combine knitting and nuno felting. The resulting series culminated in two dozen (24) finished scarves, all variations on the same theme with some quirky detours permitted.
Fine’s program includes slides of finished work, video demonstrating work in progress and surface design techniques. There will be live commentary as well as Q&A. The idea is to inspire curiosity, adventure and cross fertilization of techniques: to be playful! The ultimate “success” embraced in her program is the pairing of skill and experience with the thrill of discovery. Come dance in someone else’s fiber dreams….be inspired to jump off the cliff into the unknown.
Social time 9:30 - 10 am
Meeting starts at 10 am - break 11:00-11:10am
Program 11:15am- 12:30pm
Member Show and Tell after the program
Zoom link will be sent the week before.
