The Weavers Guild of Springfield

The Weavers Guild of Springfield is celebration of its 75th year and we will study the different structures that will produce a diamond shape.  our valuable library. This could be most lace weave such as huck, Atwater Bronson, twill, Krokbragd, many Swedish and Finnish weave structure, pick-up, overshot, and many others.

The study group topic for this program year is Diamond.

There will be a lecture with a PowerPoint at the September meeting and more information shared at ensuing meetings to provide information to Guild members and answer any questions.  Some samples will be handed out at the September meeting. 

This is also an opportunity for three or four members to decide to study a topic together. At each meeting there will be a chance to ask questions or to receive help from the general membership.

Of course, it would be nice to weave a sample and a finished item.  The sample can be paper or actual fabric (25 would ensure each member would have a sample sheet with an actual woven sample). The conclusion of the study group will be at the April 2027 meeting. Included items should be name of resource (s), discussion the main source in detail to help introduce that resource to other members, and actual sample.
