Tuesday 2 December, starting at 1 pm (NOTE THIS IS AN AFTERNOON MEETING!)

Location: Congregational Church of Harvard, 5 Still River Rd, Harvard MA

Come weave with found natural materials! Beautiful seedhead from the side of the road? Irresistible piece of driftwood? Intriguing porcupine quills? Here’s the opportunity to play!

Guild member Fran Levi will lead participants in making small woven creations off the loom with items found in nature. She will bring wisteria and grape vine wreaths and straight and forked sticks for making primitive looms and lots of dried flowers, birchbark, feathers, wasp nests, snake skins and more to share. Hemp, linen, wire and other warp options will be available.

Participants might bring collage scissors (not your good fiber scissors!), pruning shears, a tapestry needle, crochet hook, scraps of hand spun, a portable warped loom or a started basket and whatever you’ve found in nature that might be fun to weave.

Fran is a juried member of The League of New Hampshire Craftsmen. She is one of the leaders of the weaving program at the Townsend Senior Center.

Fran is also looking for a few people who can commit to arriving at 12 to help get transfer supplies from her car and set up, and people who can stay afterward to help clean up.
