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!

March 18 - Kelly Marshall with Weaving by Design
A broad spectrum talk on design, rep weave, and the development of a weaving business.
April 15 - Linda Hartshorn presenting a Textile Tour of Guatemala
Guatemala is a beautiful country of highland lakes, towering volcanoes, and amazing handwoven textiles.

Take a virtual tour of this fascinating country from a weaver's perspective. View vivid images on PowerPoint, examine many wonderful textiles, and hear fascinating stories from the auspicious time of December 2012, the end of the calendar, and the beginning of a new era in Mayan Cosmology.
