April 19 - Carol James - Sprang
Carol will begin with a discussion of sprang, videos of how it works, and a few examples of the way sprang can be made up into bags, shirts, socks etc.
For the second part she will take a quick run through the history of sprang, starting with bonnets from bronze-age Scandinavian finds, through ancient Greece and Rome, Egypt, and on to Renaissance Europe. I’ll show slides of artwork depicting sprang, sprang in museum collections, as well as my own re-constructions of these pieces.
A 3rd section will focus on a specific project.
Set up and Social Time: 12:00-12:30
Program: 12:30-1:30
Social Time and Break Down: 1:30-2:00

Guild meetings are held the 3rd Saturday of the month, September-June.
Unless otherwise specified by email to members, all monthly Meetings will take place both in-person and online, at the Downtown Bellingham Public Library (see below) and a Zoom link will also be sent 2-3 days before the meeting. All meetings will have both options, regardless of where the program presenter is. This is a work in progress as we transition back to in-person meetings while still keeping a remote option available for our members who can’t come to our meeting space. Please bear with us and do share your feedback with our board members as well as any suggestions for how to improve our meetings for everyone as we figure this out.
Whatcom Weavers Guild will be meeting in-person at:
Downtown Bellingham Public Library, 210 Central Avenue
