NVWG Meeting Tuesday, February 22, 2022 at 7:00 PM
Our February 22, 2022, meeting will start at 7:00 PM on Zoom. The meeting link will be provided by Kathy closer to the date of the meeting. Our guest speaker is Kathrin Weber who says this about the presentation she has prepared for us:
Creative Use of Materials, Color, and Technique
“Do you have yarn in various colors, textures, weights, and yarn types that you are not sure what to do with? Perhaps you have a lovely yarn that may not be strong enough for that warp you want to wind. Or your yarn is too fine or too big or the colors are too bright and they don’t go together. Or, to be honest, the yarn you have been hoarding is just too dang expensive to use! How do you make a little go a long way?
This lecture with images will help you think of creative ways to plan and execute woven projects of mixed yarn types and colors that you might have thought would never go together technically or visually. Spend a little time with me thinking, “What if…?” And then dig through your yarn closet for hidden treasures waiting to be woven.”
A bit about Kathrin from her website – blazingshuttles.com
“Kathrin has been a full-time studio fiber artist since 1980. Her work revolves around dyeing, weaving, and teaching. She has a fearless enjoyment in using hand-dyed color in her teaching, shop sales, and weaving. She enthusiastically encourages students to dive into color. No matter what her classes are officially entitled, they are ultimately about color, technique, and weaving good fabric.
Kathrin is a member of the Southern Highland Handcraft Guild. She has a strong belief in encouraging technical proficiency and personal design. She served 6 years on the Standards Committee for Southern Highland Guild and as the chair of Standards for Piedmont Crafts Guild. Kathrin is currently serving as a member of the PCI Standards Committee. She teaches at Penland, Arrowmont, John C. Campbell Folk School, Peters Valley, Appalachian Crafts School, Fiber Guilds, and Fiber Conferences across the country.
Kathrin encourages fiber folks to join her on Blazing Shuttles Chatter Facebook page to meet and join several thousand weavers who are making beautiful woven items with her hand-dyed yarn.”
