Her presentation was great! Robyn is such an inspiration as a speaker and a weaver. I am sure I will use many of her “devil’s details” in my design and weaving. If you use any of her suggestions, make sure to mention it when you show and share your weaving. In March, we have exciting arts events to attend. I’ll mention the important dates below for “Strings Attached: Tradition Meets Contemporary Woven Art” at the Pasadena Museum of History March 5th - May 15th. We will be sending flyers and other information in a PDF to you as well. Be sure to attend the exhibit and support your local weavers and spinners!

The class is designed for: 1) Students who have no weaving experience, 2) Former weavers that have not woven in a long time and need a refresher course, 3) Weavers who still need some guidance, and 4) Weavers interested in broadening the scope of their weaving. A session consists of eight 3-hour classes. A proposed winter schedule is listed below. At least one project will be completed during the course of instruction, but will require doing some weaving at home. Some students may start a second project. Class size is 3-4 students.

Strings Tradition Meets Contemporary Woven Art
March 5 to May 15, 2016 Autumn, by Susan Beeler Anderson, 2015 (25 x 26in)
On March 5, 2016, Pasadena Museum of History will unveil a new exhibition displaying remarkable contemporary and traditional weaving. This art, created by the members of the Bobbinwinder’s Guild of the San Gabriel Valley, is inspired by modern global aesthetics and production techniques, as well as historical techniques of weaving and design. For sixty years, the Bobbinwinder’s Guild has fostered the ancient tradition of weaving, producing superb fine and decorative art. In June 1955, when orange groves still dominated the landscape in the Pomona and San Gabriel Valleys, fifteen weavers gathered to celebrate their craft and became the founding members of the organization. The work of local weavers will be showcased in this exhibition. Examples of looms and other tools of the trade will also be on display, and demonstrations of the weaver’s technique will be offered periodically. Dates to watch: Saturday March 5th -- Opening Reception -- 2-4pm Free Admission! Friday March 11th -- “Art Night” -- 6-10pm Tues. April 26th Lecture--Traditional to Faux:Shibori Weaving & Dyeing 6:30-9:30pm Sunday, May 15th -- “Museums of the Arroyo Day” -- 1 -5pm Every Saturday March 5th -May 14th -- Live Weaving/Spinning Demos -- 2-4pm PMH open Wednesday -Sunday 12-5pm JOIN US and Bring a friend!
