President’s Message Hi Everyone. Summer is trying hard to give us a glorious season. Here in Maine the temperature bounces between 50 and 90, with a sprinkle or a downpour thrown in for good measure. I hope you are all inspired to weave a lot. Between gardening, vacations, entertaining folks from away and the everyday curves that life throws at us I am worried that not much weaving actually will happen. If you found time to weave this summer I congratulate you! Our biennial exhibit at Plymouth State University showcased the diversity of NHWG. Practical, humorous, spontaneous, whimsical, and fashionable, all were represented by the show. I can’t thank Arlene and all those who ably hung, staffed, contributed goodies, and did all the little things that helped make our beautiful exhibit come to life. Many of us were fortunate to attend NEWS and enjoy the classes, exhibits, and fellowship that a conference provides. New Hampshire was charged with hanging the fabulous Mary Merrill special exhibit. Her colorful tapestries provided another dimension to the conference. Our Challenge exhibit “Towels” looked lovely in the Smith Library, and it was so interesting to see the kitchen theme carried out in the Weavers’ Guild of Boston’s exhibit of recipe in-spired placemats and napkins and Mainely Weavers’ apron exhibit. Great minds think alike! Winners in the Gallery Show and Fashion Show will be honored at the September meeting. Sunapee was ably organized by Frank Irvine and Gail Landry. We are indeed fortunate to be surrounded by artists of every description, and the volunteers who manned the booth loved the opportunity to share our fascination with weaving and color. Volunteers are the backbone of our organization. If you can contribute a small amount of time - greeting members as they arrive, helping set up coffee and tea, lending a hand in the library or on the yarn table, organizing newsletter advertising, or writing an article for the newsletter - participation will make your experience much richer. Thank you for the opportunity to lead the Guild for the next two years. I am still learning names, so stop me, make sure I know you, and help me make our Guild sing. I am looking forward to a great fall. Morning Workshops and Afternoon Programs are covering many aspects of weaving, giving us all plenty of chances to learn something new, or to enhance what we already know. Sign up for a class or two, you won’t regret it.

May your warps never tangle! - Linda

Morning Workshops - September

(Registration Policies, page 10, Registration Form, Page 11) Diversified Plain Weave Jayne Flanagan 1 Session $18.00 September 16 A lecture and demo will delve into this interesting pattern weave. Thick and thin threads are used in both the warp and weft. The thin threads provide the stable background grid, and pattern is created by selecting which thick thread will appear on the surface. The fabric is closely tied, giving the effect of no floats, and creating distinct patterns. The fabric can be solid or very fluid, yet still stable. This structure is used infrequently but is quite suitable for adventurous weavers. The name may be off-putting and warping and weaving with thick and thin threads may seem a challenge. However, Diversified Plain weave is worthy of attention and the pattern-making method (including pick-up) is easy to understand. Fee for Handout will be $1.00. Bring note taking supplies. Bring examples of Diversified Plain Weave for show and tell. Overshot Borders Diana Frost 1 Session $18.00 September 16 The wonderful possibilities and patterns in Overshot could keep a weaver busy for a lifetime and, indeed, did so for many of our gifted forebears. After you are familiar with the weave structure of Overshot, you need to con-sider how to design the start and the end of the piece. Diana will show examples and she will discuss ways to de-sign pleasing borders on the sides as well as on the ends. Participants should know how to read and use a draft and should have a basic understanding of Overshot weaving. Bring pencil and paper for note taking. Fee for Materials and Handout will be $5.00 or less. Atwater-Bronson Lace - A Way to Get Block Designs on Fewer Shafts Marjie Thompson First of Two Sessions $36.00 (No fee for materials) September 16 & Nov.ember18 Taking something common, a two color plaid, this class will teach you how to turn the basic design into an Atwater-Bronson lace textile for creative magic on four shafts. We will begin with some textile analysis to count the ends of each color in the plaid and then move to a discussion of the Atwater-Bronson lace structure. Thread size is important when adapting a plaid to lace so that will be covered as well as the two backgrounds the textile may have: predominantly lace or predominately plain weave. The next step is to work from block designs for designing on more than four shafts. Numerous inspirational samples will be shown and drafting will be done for more than four shaft work. Please bring a plaid or block design that you like and graph paper (if you do not like the ten-to-the-inch graph paper that will be provided - no fee.) and a pencil. Laptop computers are welcome for more “instant gratification.” No fee.

Weavers Helping Weavers – September 16

Using Gamps as a Design Tool Ginny Bridge, Moderator The Jan/Feb 2004 edition of Handwoven was devoted to gamps. In her introductory article Madelyn van der Hoogt describes a gamp as “the ultimate design tool.” Gamps can be structural gamps (as in twill gamps), color gamps, or a combination of both. Bring your gamps and any projects or ideas for projects that they inspired. Bring drafts to share or references to articles or books. If you haven’t tried a gamp, just come and join in the conversation.

Morning Workshops - October

Shadow Weave in Polychrome Sarah Fortin 1 Session $18.00 October 21 Shadow weave is a visually graphic and exciting weave structure, but may also be a stable, yet fluid fabric. We will explore the many possibilities for creating beautiful cloth when using more than two colors or tex-tures while weaving the shadow weave structure. Images and samples will be shown to illustrate the use of the Powell method of shadow weave and the many variations created by the use of several colors and changes of treadling sequences with each draft. The handout, available for purchase for $5.00, contains copies of each draft that is shown. Supplementary Warp; When, Where, and How to Use It Barbara Herbster 2 Sessions$36.00 Oct. 21 & Nov. 18 Have you ever wished you could achieve clean multicolored motifs using a single shuttle? Interweaving one color with another color produces a color mix which is not a pure color. Supplementary warp technique gives blocks or lines of colored thread or ribbon as bright as it appears on the cone of yarn. Many of Barbara’s finished pieces incorporate supplementary warp in the design. See and feel examples. Learn the few simple rules. Weave an original project and bring it to class in November. Investigate the possibilities, pushing the limits of supplementary warp. In November, join classmates as they share woven pieces, stimulated by what was learned in October. Learn from their experiences. Further explorations and refinements will be discussed. Participants should be comfortable threading a loom and should be open minded. Single page handout, no fee. Designing Double Weave on 8 to 16 Shaft Gretchen Romey-Tanzer 1 Session $18.00 October 21 Have you ever entertained the notions of 3D tic-tac-toe, String Theory or upside down cake? The common thread comes from the interaction between two or more layers. With cake, the bottom sugar and butter layer be-comes the glaze after inverting the finished dessert. With tic-tac-toe you have to think spatially and connect one layer to another with a virtual connecting line. I am not a physicist but I like the idea of particle strings in space that interact in complicated and sometimes predictable ways. Double weave is an amalgam of these ideas. Two parallel layers of color and texture can interact in dynamic ways. Preplanning is essential but “happy accidents” are welcome. We will be concentrating on 8 to 16 shaft drafts.

Overview of double weave: Examples of my work and work of other weavers. I use a lot of color and will share color strategies.

Designing for double weave: Design a block structure with 2, 3 and/or 4 blocks. Draw with colored pencils and graphite pencils on graph paper. Discuss profile drafts.

Drafting for double weave: Work with 8 shaft plain weave, 16 shafts for twill double weave (or a plain/twill combi-nation). Weave Maker software (occasionally used to check my drafts for soundness). Share experience with drafting software.

Yarn selection, winding warp, loom set-up and weaving strategies (as time permits) Participants should have some interest in, or contact with, multi-shaft looms and an interest in drafting and design. Fee: $5.00 covers Graph paper and handouts.. Bring colored pencils and unlined paper.

Weavers Helping Weavers – October 21 Hems and Edges Jayne Flanagan, Moderator This will be a Show and Tell of your examples of hems and edge finishes with time for Questions and Answers. How do you plan for hems and edges? Do you fringe, bind, miter, whip, blanket stitch, twine, weave in, braid, macra-mé, turn under, machine stitch, fuse, embroider, fold, wrap, pink, enclose, crochet, overlap, ravel or ruffle? Do you make samples? Please bring in lots of examples of your hems and edges to inspire everyone with some fresh ideas for finishing.

Weavers Helping Weavers – November 18 The Guild Library Joan Warren, Library Chair Our Guild is rich in resources for weavers, spinners and dyers with over 500 books, DVDs, sample books and equipment. Come to the library (in the yellow building) to learn more. I will point out some special materials and will review use of the NHWG online catalog. Then I will highlight the SAMPLES COLLECTION. As wonderful as pictures can be, seeing and touching cloth is the best way for us to learn. In addition to the four file drawers of samples from Guild Workshops, the Guild Li-brary has just added 8 binders of Robbin and Russ sample books, thanks to the generous donation of Pauline Duke. All these can be borrowed by any Guild member.

Morning Workshops - November

Supplementary Warp; When, Where, and How to Use It Barbara Herbster Session 2 of 2 October 21 & November 18 Join classmates as they share woven pieces. Further explorations and refinements will be discussed. Atwater-Bronson Lace - A Way to Get Block Designs on Fewer Shafts Marjie Thompson Session 2 of 2 Sept. 16 & Nov. 18 Bring and share homework, a piece woven in Atwater-Bronson design. A Handweaver’s Orientation to Tapestry Weaving Lys & Jeffrey K. Weiss 1 Session $15.00 November 18 Using examples from contemporary tapestries, we will look at the ways tapestry weaving differs from selvage-to-selvage weaving: the looms and tools, the weaving and finishing process, specific techniques such as shape-building and color-blending, control of surface, use of slits and hatching. We will consider sett and scale, viewing distance and subject matter. If you want to try tapestry weaving, this workshop will provide you with a good basic understanding. Participants should have a basic understanding of the hand weaving process. Handouts provided by Instructor. No Fee.

September 16, 2015 A Weaver’s Life

Tom Jipson Tom Jipson has been weaving for 43 years. He creates functional fabrics, scarves, throws and shawls in cashmere, silk and wool, alpaca, cotton and rayon chenille. Tom teaches weaving, both loom and tapestry, color and design at Harrisville Designs, and has participated in numerous craft shows including the League of New Hampshire Craftsman’s Annual Fair at Sunapee. He is cutting back his schedule, and we are fortunate to have him speak to us.

October 21, 2015 Color- Subtle and Audacious

Gretchen Romey-Tanzer

Throughout history there has been a battle raging between academic art and non-academic art, (between con-servative and experimental, accepted and non-accepted, etc.). The acceptable use of color often is in the middle of the controversy. Color is linked to emotion and the subconscious. Rational thought wants to put color into a system. Just think of your own life when in your past someone has told you that you shouldn’t mix certain colors and patterns in your wardrobe. We are going to pull all those theories and reactions together to have a dialogue about color in weav-ing and fiber art. I will put on a slide show (digital) of images illustrating the dynamic use of color in traditional and contemporary textiles. This is not going to be about the rainbow use of color but about using color to pull out detail, accentuate tex-ture and celebrate the process of designing. Gretchen Romey-Tanzer has a BFA and MFA in Woven and Constructed Textile Design and has studied weaving in Finland and Canada. She is a full time teacher and artist. Her work is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, as well in many private collections.

November 18, 2015 The Telling Detail: Special Effects in Tapestry

Lys Weiss & Jeffrey K. Weiss

Museum exhibitions of historical tapestries can overwhelm us. Their huge size and display of magnificence can make it hard to focus on specific details. The overall effect is tremendous--but how exactly was that effect achieved? This presentation will use examples from historical tapestries to train our eyes to see how those long-ago weavers created the remarkable special effects we marvel at today. We will examine striking details: plants and animals, flow-ing water, majestic buildings, and lively people with expressive faces, costumes of elaborate fabrics, sparkling jewelry, and all the material goods of daily life.

Planning is on-going for Extended Workshop Spring 2016

Your input is needed!

Thank you to all who offered suggestions at the May meeting for our Extended Workshops in 2016. Here is a sampling of possible workshops/instructors. (Some may not work for this spring, but we can line up those instructors for a later time .) As expected, there is a wide range of interest. We do need to act soon to secure a workshop leader for Spring of 2016. If we cannot fully enroll Extended Workshops, and tuition does not cover expenses, these Workshops create a major additional expense for the Guild. Before booking an instructor , we need to have a clear idea of member inter-est. Consider the instructors listed below, follow the links for more information, and comment back to Mary Ann Sanborn, masanborn@aol.com, 16 Abberton Rd., Canterbury, NH 03224.
