NEWS Registration has been suspended

Nashoba Valley Weavers' Guild Posted on February 12, 2017 by LauraFebruary 12, 2017

This from our good friend Susan:

Because of the credit card problem I am ending registration for the time being. All course selections will be cleared before we begin again. A new day and time will be announced through your guild reps and on the website and this Facebook page with at least 24 hours notice. Any payments that did go through will be refunded. I apologize for the difficulties and the frustration. Testing did not show this problem and we are not sure why it is occurring. – Susan Targove, NEWS Seminar Registrar

WWM Echo Weave study group presentation

Nashoba Valley Weavers' Guild Posted on February 6, 2017 by Dorothy SolbrigFebruary 6, 2017

At Weavers of Western Mass on Feb 15, 2017, please join us!

Using Marian Stubenitsky’s Weaving With Echo and Iris book as a springboard, the Echo Weave Study Group has been busy exploring this diverse weaving system. At the February meeting, the members will show their samples and finished pieces, and share what they learned. Echo weave can be intimidating, but with a computer weaving program the study group found that it’s not difficult to create beautiful work. Come and see the diverse shapes, including diamonds, circles, waves, and flowers that can be formed when treadlings have been networked and colors applied to design lines that have been “echoed” in the threading. Although echo can be woven with 4 shafts, the group achieved spectacular results using 8 or 16 shafts.

Several current and former EiAW class members participated in this study.

Meeting at the Hill Institute, Florence, MA

12:30PM-1:00PM Refreshments / Socializing
1:00 PM-1:40PM Guild Business Meeting concludes with Show & Tell
1:45PM-3:15PM Program

Tonight’s meeting is still on for 7pm!

Nashoba Valley Weavers' Guild Posted on January 24, 2017 by LauraJanuary 24, 2017

With the questionable weather today, we want to confirm that our meeting is still on for this evening.

This month’s program will be a very social one.  We ask everyone to bring a sample of your “other art” projects.  Most weavers dabble in other forms of art, be it knitting, spinning, crochet, quilting…or even some non-fiber artistic expressions.  This is the time to share these crafts!  It’ll be a great way to get to know your fellow guild members.  Don’t have an “other art”?  Come anyway!  We hope that this meeting will be very inspirational.

Circle Weaving with Jacquie Chalmers

Please note THIS IS AN AFTERNOON MEETING 

The December meeting of the Nashoba Valley Weavers’ Guild will be presented by Jacquie Chalmers on Circle Weaving Techniques and an example application – covered buttons.  The meeting will be held on Tuesday, December 6th, 2016, at 1 pm at the Fiber Loft in Harvard, MA.  The class will include how to warp the circular loom, weave a design and how to finish the project. We will then take it off the loom and use it to cover a button. After making a button using the basic weave we will learn one or two additional weaving techniques to achieve different visual effects in the finished work.

*** Kit/materials : $5 for members, $10 for non-members.  The guild is subsidizing this workshop by paying half of the materials fee for members. Includes circle loom, threads, buttons; material to make 4 button covers.

*** Students should bring a size 18 tapestry needle and scissors.

Instructor Bio: Jacquie Chalmers   –  Jacquie splits her time between the calm of her studio in upstate New York and the frenzy of busy Boston Massachusetts. She has taught many classes at Fiber College, shows and guilds. A long time knitter, spinner, dyer, felter and needle tatter, she has recently focused on circle weaving. She loves nothing more than mastering a new skill, applying it in a new way and sharing it with others.

Items from Mayan Hands and UPAVIM Crafts will also be available at this meeting!  Bring your checkbooks!!!  Mayan Hands and UPAVIM Crafts are fair trade organizations that offer a variety of beautifully handwoven and beaded products.  They make fantastic gifts, and the proceeds go directly back to the weavers.  You can find more information on these organizations at www.mayanhands.org and www.upavimcrafts.org.
