Minutes—September 5,

Guild Meeting Meeting called to order at 7:00 pm by

Megan Roach who welcomed everyone to our

new meeting space, The Grand Rapids Police

Department Metro Lodge 97. Julie Daniels

found the space and Paula DeYoung is our

liaison with the Lodge.

Meeting opened with an introduction of

new members (Rachael Hoekstra, Michelle

Hudson, Kate O’Hare, Darlene Rabe, Shelley

Staeven and Ruth Veenstra) and visitors

(Sharon Franks and Mary Peterson).

Board Reports:

-Jennifer Ackerman-Haywood announced

Treasurer's Report As this is the time of year that many of our

members pay their dues, I'd like to remind you

what those pay for. Those dues pay for our

meeting hall, speakers & programs, hospitality

at the meetings (all that coffee), and scholar-

ships. And while we hope that revenue from

retreats and workshops will make them self-

sustaining, your dues also allow us to reserve

space in advance. Your dues also allow us to

secure the space for Textile Arts Market in

advance.

The great majority of dues income -- over

90 per cent in the form of the meeting space

rental, speakers' fees, and hospitality -- goes to

support the programs at guild meetings. We

create a budget each year based on expected

income. This year we budgeted on an expected

106 members and currently have 105 mem-

bers, so we are right on track.

Our meeting space has been paid for, de-

posits have been paid on retreat rental, the

deposit has been paid for the Prince Center,

our scholarships have been fully funded, and

Megan has arranged for a full schedule of very

interesting programs. he guild account now

stands at $16,384 Respectfully submitted,

TAM Committee

Meeting October 5, 6:30 p.m.

Biggby Coffee

4035 Plainfield NE Our annual Textile Arts Market is still sev-

eral months away, but it is time to start think-

ing about the details. The members of the

TAM steering committee will meet Thursday,

Oct 5 at 6:30 PM at the Biggby Coffee Shop at

4035 Plainfield to put the finishing touches on

this sale. This is not a glamorous committee

activity, but a necessary one, and if you enjoy

organization or have other similar skills,

please consider joining this group. Many

hands make lighter work, and many heads

make for better ideas! Our good organization

before the sale makes it run more smoothly,

and makes it easier for everyone to work with-

out frustration.

PAULA’S POINT OF VIEW

This is Not Your

Grandmother’s Guild

I have written before on the meaning and

purposes of a guild. However, with so many

new members in the last two years, I would

like to put an updated twist on this issue.

Guilds did start during the medieval days as

the power of the kings dwindled and a middle

class was beginning to be formed by skilled

craftsman. The feudal system was disintegrat-

ing and little towns were being established

with shops and commerce. Guilds were

formed by the various artisans to set standards

and protect the quality of the goods they pro-

duced. These guilds were highly regulated and

open only to those who met the standards.

Your great-grandmother might have be-

longed to a weavers’ guild in the early 1900’s.

These guilds were women of like mind and

interests that wanted to share knowledge of

their craft and learn from others. Many of the

patterns for weaving, as an example, were not

written down and certainly not published.

Perhaps the creator of the pattern had made

notes on a sheet of paper with pencil as a per-

sonal reminder. Guilds began to grow during

the century as population centers became

denser and communications improved. Many

women also learned weaving in public schools

as a domestic science and continued their in-

terest as adults in local guilds.

Your grandmother might have joined a

guild in the 1970’s when there was a resur-

gence of interest in spinning, weaving and

other fiber arts. Guilds began to flourish again

as a way of learning and passing on traditions.

Schools had been eliminating their weaving

programs but many books were now available

for instruction. Over time there were also

VCRs for instruction. Many guilds offered

invaluable workshops or study groups.

The guilds during this time period tended to

focus on only one craft like weaving, spinning,

basket-making or the like. The focus was nar-

rower and it was strongly centered on increas-

ing skills and knowledge.

These guilds also began to have annual

sales to share their work with the community

and sell their very fine goods. This brought the

guilds into the community awareness and

become visible to others

Your mother’s guild at the turn of the cen-

tury started to expand its interest to be more

inclusive and broadened to include several

related crafts like weaving, spinning and felt-

ing. While guild’s still brought in expert

teachers for workshops, now there was also

DVDs and then YouTube which made learn-

ing “how to” more available and easier. Guilds

started to see themselves as the gathering for

anyone who was interested in the fiber arts.

Learning became not just from expert instruc-

tors but also from fellow artisans.

Today this is your guild. You have joined

because of some interest or curiosity. You will

have the opportunity to learn, sell products,

Julia Voake to Offer

Dyeing Workshop Guild member Julia Voake will be teaching

a class with Susan Clarke at Lowell Arts on

Saturday Nov. 11. The class is Eco-Dyeing on

paper and fabric. The hours are 10:30-12:30.

The fee is $30 plus a materials fee of $7. The

students need bring nothing.

Students will make three eco-dyed cards.

There will also be a demonstration of eco-

dyeing on fabric. Information on the processes

will be handed out.

To get more information or to sign up for

the class go to [email protected].

Fiber Dyeing Sampler

with Rita Petteys The next guild sponsored workshop will be

offered Nov. 18 at Yarn Hollow Studio in

Grandville. The workshop will be taught by

Rita Petteys. A registration form is attached to

this newsletter.

show your created items and develop new

interests. Much about guilds has remained the

same over the last century. But something has

changed.

Your guild is more and more about not just

fiber but the relationships that form around

fiber. We are a diverse group of ages, inter-

ests, backgrounds and styles. The diversity

makes us vibrant. It allows us to have new

insights and information from just our casual

conversations at meetings, retreats, workshops

or study groups. Our diversity means we

rarely get bored and there is always some

other way to work with fiber on the horizon.

Your guild is about people and fiber. Find

some fiber friends there and it will expand

your experience many-fold. We weave rela-

tionships as well as fiber. We spin wonderful

tales as well as yarn. We not only felt by

meshing fibers together but we form a com-

munity by meshing our lives together.

I hope you enjoy being part of the Wood-

land Weavers and Spinners Guild. I hope you

find a niche where you feel comfortable to

participate in one of out many activities. I

hope you reach out to become an active part of

this dynamic network of fiber friends.

WW&S Newsletter, October 2017— 3

MLH Updates For those of you new to Woodland Weavers

and Spinners Guild, you will often hear the

term MLH. It stands for the Michigan League

of Handweavers. I quote from the MLH web-

site:

The Michigan League of Handweavers

(MLH) was founded in 1959 to promote hand-

weaving. The League welcomes anyone inter-

ested in handweaving or the many related

aspects of fiber art and craft. The League pro-

vides opportunities for members to come to-

gether to learn and to exchange ideas by spon-

soring lectures, workshops, conferences and

exhibits. As a non-profit, educational organi-

zation, we also provide seed money for events

around the state.

We offer 8 workshops on even numbered

years and on odd years we host a full confer-

ence with seminars, exhibits, fashion show,

vendors and workshops.

Our guild has always been very active in

supporting MLH with officers, committee

chairs and especially volunteers during the

seminar and conference years. Our guild also

usually has the largest number of members

from a guild participating in the seminar and

conference events.

I will keep you updated on the latest MLH

news. From the September board meetings the

highlights are:

The Biennial Fiber Exhibit will be held at

the Shiawasee Art Center in Owosso

February 6th to March 11th. This is a

juried exhibit which has two categories--

Fiber Arts & Functional Fiber. It is a

great opportunity to have your fiber work

shared with a state wide audience. JoAnn

Bachelor will be the judge this year. The

receptions and awards will be on Sunday,

February 11th. You can look on the MLH

website for details of entering the Fiber

Exhibit. I will bring hard copies to the

November guild meeting.

MLH provides learning grants each year

of up to $200 to attend a fiber learning

experience. This may include MLH semi-

nar or conference workshops, Fiber Festi-

val, local guild workshops, Handweavers

Guild Association conference or any fiber

related learning opportunity. Check for

details on the MLH website.

Reminder if you are an individual mem-

ber of MLH the membership year is from

September to August. Even if you joined

while registering for the conference in

June your membership expired at the end

of August. You may renew any time dur-

ing the year.

The MLH website now lists the 3 days

seminars for next June. Registration will

be in early January. The specific date is

not yet set. You can start planning on

what seminar you might want to attend.

You can also start saving or think about

applying for a learning grant to defray

costs.

The MLH trading post is filled with list-

ings for used equipment. Many items

have been added over the summer. This is

a good place to find fair priced used

equipment.

Our Guild participated in the Swatch

exchange this year. The MLH board was

very pleased at the swatches from the

four guilds that made them this year. We

did well. I will have a notebook with the

swatch samples in them for you at the

Stitches in Time—Seven Years This August I attended my 7th Stitches Midwest in Schaumburg IL. Stitches is sponsored by

XRX, former publisher of Knitters Magazine. It is 4 days of classes, making new friends, meet-

ing new teachers, and shopping. The first year I attended I went to register at the hotel and no-

ticed people knitting everywhere, and thought "I've found my tribe." I haven't missed one since.

This year I took two knitting classes, both on design. The first,

taught by J. C. Briar, was on designing socks and went into the

technical framework of sock design, such as scale and pattern

stretchiness. The second class was on

designing tessellations for knitware.

This class was led by Franklin Habit,

and if you ever have a chance to take a

class with him take it. He is an excel-

lent teacher and extremely funny.

I also took two weaving classes. The

first was with Deborah Jarchow on the

rigid heddle. The class was on color

blending. We all had brought yarn in a spectrum of colors and the

whole class helped each student decide which colors were best. We

warped the looms before lunch and had the afternoon to finish the

scarf. It was in a plain weave but had color changes in both the warp

and weft. All the scarves were beautiful. Even though I've been

weaving on a rigid heddle for a number of years, I still learn some-

thing in her classes.

The second class was on card weaving with John Mullarkey. Us-

ing his custom designed tablet looms, we learned to warp the tablets

and weave. We were able to weave two shoelaces with 10/2 perle

cotton. It was a lot of fun. I had done a bit of tablet weaving on my

own, but John pointed out what I could be doing better. I bought

more 10/2 when I got home so I could make more shoelaces!

I can hardly wait for 2018!

November meeting. You may want to

review them. Each guild gets a package

of swatch samples as does any member of

MLH that is paid by the first of the year.

If you have any questions about MLH

please feel free to ask me, Margaret Jaegar,

Sue Vegter, Marta Williams, Cathy Barnett or

Cathy McCarthy who have all been officers or

committee chairs.

Respectively submitted (for Amy Ranger):

Marta G. Williams

Spinning Questions;

Weaving Answers I have an 86 year old friend who is moving

into a smaller space – she continues to weave.

She wonders about whether a warping mill or

warping board would be more suitable given

the space issue.

Both Jochen Dietrich and Julie Daniels

agreed that a warping mill is the best choice.

Here are several reasons:

greater flexibility to measure a short warp

or a very long warp

it spins, thus saving your arm and/or

shoulder from getting sore or fatigued

it can be positioned to be used while sit-

ting down

it can be broken down for storage

On the other hand, warping boards can be

broken down for storage also. Depending on

the length of warp your friend usually chooses

to weave and the space, warping pegs can be

considered.

Mary Ippel writes: I used a warping board

for many years, then purchased a warping

mill. I only used the mill a few times, then

went back to the warping board because that is

what I used and enjoyed. I do a lot of color

designs and when I wind my warp on the

board, I can make decisions about color as I

go.

If you have thoughts on this question,

please feel free to send your suggestions or

experiences with warping boards vs. mills. We

thank mentors for their time, thoughts, and for

sharing their skills on this question. We look

forward to many more questions and many

more mentor answers!

If you have other questions, please send an

email to Bob Meyering (meyeringbob@

gmail.com) or Pat Pope (patpope2668@

gmail.com).

Editor’s note: We do have a question about

the meaning of those numbers when it comes

to thread. For example, what does the 8/2

mean in 8/2 cotton? If you have a clear expla-

nation, please share it.

Thanks to our

Fallasburg Fall Festival

Volunteers Many visitors to the Fallasburg Fall Festi-

val stop to chat with the volunteers from our

guild who spend their days plying their crafts

and answering questions. Every year we meet

new fiber friends who come to share stories,

ask about our guild, or watch the activity

which supports our fiber explorations.

This year Arlene Tiemeyer brought her

floor loom and Jocelyn Shaw brought her rigid

heddle loom. Paula De Young prepared a warp

on her warping mill. Margaret Jager used a

drum carder to card an indigo-dyed fleece into

submission, while Gabriela Minnhaar-Tomatis

and Paula Stark spun fleece into gold, i.e.,

silk/wool yarn! Visitors often express surprise

that it takes so make steps and so much time to

create our masterpieces.

This year guild members Heidi Bukoski

and Kelly Brandt manned a booth at the FF

Festival, and Cindy Allen volunteered in the

lodge and served the Lowell Arts Council as

the volunteer coordinator

FROM OUR PRESIDENT

The Guild and ArtPrize This time of the year is so busy for me with

ArtPrize. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with

the never-ending ArtPrize to-do list and I for-

get how much fun ArtPrize can be. What a

wonderful time of year! I love that Grand

Rapids and its inhabitants put so much time

and effort to highlight the wonderful world of

art every year. I also truly enjoy talking to

people about weaving on a regular basis at my

shop during this time. ArtPrize can be so re-

warding even if it is a lot of work.

I would love for the Woodland Weavers

and Spinners to get involved with ArtPrize

next year. I was talking to a member who

mentioned that we did participate several years

ago, but I think it might be time to be a part of

this great event again. I imagine a group of

weavers and spinners demonstrating in front

of some sort of fiber installation, hopefully in

a well trafficked area. It would be a great ex-

perience for our members that would partici-

pate as well as for the ArtPrize goers that pass

our piece and learn about our craft. I also can

see a collaborative piece promoting our guild

and hopefully encouraging several people to

join our guild. The more the merrier right?

We’ll discuss this idea a bit more at our

upcoming October meeting. Please reach out

to me at [email protected] if you

are interested in this!

Our New Location

1753 Alpine Ave NW While I suggested in previous emails a couple of different ways of getting to this location, I think the

simplest suggestion is to take the Ann Street exit from either North or South. Follow Ann Street west

where it curves to the right and intersects with Alpine. Turn left onto Alpine and drive south. We are on

the right side of the street at the corner of Alpine and Sylvia. The sandwich boards we use for the Tex-

tile Arts Market will be out in front of the building to help you find it.
