SUMMARY:Kiki Dembrow - Presentation:  My Weaving Journey
DESCRIPTION:  \nKiki’s tapestry journey began in 2005 and included the exploration of different weaving traditions: From traditional French practices in Aubusson\, France  to the Navajo use of raised outline.  An eclectic group of tapestry artists has been a source of inspiration and problem solving: From Silvia Heyden to Sarah Swett. This slide presentation of her personal journey is in many ways a broad overview of tapestry past and present.  \nBio \nSince 2005\, Kiki Dembrow’s passion has been tapestry. Weaving has become the means by which she explores how to translate the interplay of ideas\, images\, and colors that resonate for her into the language of tapestry. Kiki’s practice includes an on-going study of different techniques from different weaving traditions. Since 2006 her tapestries have been regularly exhibited in American Tapestry Alliance’s small unjuried format at Convergence. Her tapestry Landscape was awarded Jurors Choice by the American Tapestry Alliance and Second Place by the Rocky Mountain Weavers Guild at the Northern Colorado Weavers Guild Fiber Celebration in 2018. She is a founding member of Willamette Tapestry Artists (WTA) and currently the president of the Damascus Fiber Arts School Board. \n  \n  \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://zoom.us/j/91266640116?pwd=K2g0b1hhaU5mNTBkVDIwRTQ4ckdldz09 \nMeeting ID: 912 6664 0116\nPasscode: 974225

SUMMARY:Laverne Waddington - The Backstrap Loom and Weaving in South America        /          Scholarship presenter -  Teresa Shaffer "Dyeing Yarns”
DESCRIPTION:Bio: \nLaverne Waddington has been learning to weave on various kinds of simple looms with indigenous teachers in South America since 1996. In her home in Santa Cruz\, Bolivia\, she combines elements of ethnic design and her own original patterns to create unique pieces on a backstrap loom using the various techniques and structures she has studied in South and Central America as well as with backstrap weavers from Vietnam and Myanmar.\nSince 2010\, she has published eight instructional manuals on the various woven structures and finishing techniques that she has studied and produced a DVD on Operating a Backstrap Loom. \nHer articles on backstrap weaving and indigenous textiles have appeared in Handwoven magazine\, Shuttle\, Spindle & Dyepot\, Piecework\, Tiny Studio Creative Life and Spin Off as well as in the published proceedings of the 2012 and 2016 Braid Society conferences. \nShe has shared her skills and experiences with many visitors to Bolivia over the years and now reaches a global audience with her weaving tutorials and travel tales on her blog. She provides online advice and support to weavers through forums such as Ravelry and Facebook groups and teaches and speaks at guilds and textile conferences around the world. \nPresentation:  The Backstrap Loom and Weaving in South America \nFrom her home in Santa Cruz\, Bolivia\, Australian Laverne Waddington has been traveling since 1996 to meet and study with indigenous weavers from the tropical lowlands of Bolivia to the highlands of Chile\, Peru\, Ecuador and Bolivia\, and from the central valleys of Chile to the coastal regions of Ecuador. \nFascinated by the variety of simple tools and looms that these weavers use to create astonishingly intricately patterned cloth\, she has taken on the humble backstrap loom as her main weaving tool. \nIn this talk Laverne shares her experiences learning to weave in South America\, describes the various kinds of looms she has encountered – especially the backstrap loom – as well as how she has used the acquired skills and know-how in her own work. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://zoom.us/j/91266640116?pwd=K2g0b1hhaU5mNTBkVDIwRTQ4ckdldz09 \nMeeting ID: 912 6664 0116\nPasscode: 974225

SUMMARY:Color Horoscope Weaving by Bonnie Tarses
DESCRIPTION:  \nBio: \nBonnie Tarses—a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design in Textile Design and Art Education\, has been weaving since 1960. Inspired by ethnic textiles\, color symbolism\, and the non-verbal language of color woven as joyous prayer\, Bonnie specializes in functional one-of-a-kind art cloth and private commissions. \nShe operated her studio in Seattle from 1980 to 2010 where she perfected her original techniques: Color Horoscope Weaving and Woven Words and developed a new slant to the ancient technique of Ikat which she calls “Turned Weft Ikat”. During her 30 years in Seattle\, she became active in the Seattle Weavers Guild serving as president in 1993. \nIn 2010\, Bonnie moved to Montana to continue her weaving journey. She served as president of the Seattle Weavers Guild in 2013 and was named a Living Treasure by the Montana Association of Weavers and Spinners in 2016. \nIn addition to sharing her love of weaving by presenting innovative workshops and lectures throughout the U.S. and Canada (now mostly through zoom)\, Bonnie’s work appears in homes and on bodies all over the world. Her current passion\, though\, is developing collaborative origami projects for the betterment of the greater community. \nTo find out more and see images of her work\, check out her website bonnietarses.com and Bonnie Tarses on Facebook and Instagram plus an archival blog\, Weaving Spirit on blogspot. \n  \nColor Horoscope Weaving \nThis program is an overview of my journey from color gamps to Color Horoscope Weaving \nA span of 45 years \nAlthough I have been weaving for 63 years\, the first couple decades were all about exploration: of patterns and structures\, of textures and colors. At last I discovered the interplay of color was my true passion. Over decades of teaching color focused workshops\, I have noticed that a vast majority of weavers are challenged by color. My sincerest hope is that through my words and images your relationship to color will be transformed. \nJoin me on an amazing color journey!  With over 100 delicious images\, I will dazzle your senses and open a door to color possibilities beyond the capabilities of the human eye. The arcane language of astrology is translated into the non-verbal language of color that everyone relates to in a completely unique manner. I superimpose a color wheel over a horoscope (which is merely a map of the sky at a selected time and place. It can be a wedding day\, graduation or this very moment.  I use 12 colors which combine to create over 5 billion color possibilities. Most color gamps produce around 144. How I do this is a complicated process which I continue to refine.  When I first began teaching\, I taught students how to convert their horoscope into a winding draft\, but I quickly discovered that students wanted to leave a workshop with a finished piece.  The only way to achieve completion was the have the students receive their winding draft at month prior to the workshop. In that time they gather the yarn of their choice in the basic color code provided\, wind their warp. And dress their loom and arrive at the workshop ready to weave. \nIn lieu of a workshop\, I offer instruction packets that can be purchased for $50. They include: a horoscope\, a winding draft\, 5 pages of instruction\, 5 pages of support materials and email support for a year. \nPerhaps you will be inspired to create your own

SUMMARY:Guild Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Giovanna Imperia\nTopic: Weaving with Unusual Materials\nIn this program\, we’ll find answers to questions we’ve had and didn’t know who to ask.  What is polyurethane?  Why would I want to use thermoplastic?  What is metal\, what is metallic?  Can I weave with either one on my loom?  And much\, much more.  We’ll learn about the idiosyncrasies of a wide variety of funky and futuristic yarns\, including handling\, warping\, weaving\, braiding\, etc.  The talk will cover selecting the right yarns for the look and feel that we may want and using their tricky ways effectively.   \nGiovanna also offers workshops with hands on\, using these unusual materials. \nTopic: Sept COSW Meeting\nTime: Sep 20\, 2023 09:30 AM Pacific Time (US and Canada) \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/89979314926?pwd=RlIyODJ6MG5YY2JyMEdjY2tiOGVyUT09 \nMeeting ID: 899 7931 4926\nPasscode: 088527

SUMMARY:Guild Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Fine Gelfand\nThe NOH coat\, a creative approach to limited materials.\nFine used shibori dyed strips as a surface design element but also interwove them for parts of the NOH coat. She will show you how she got from a motley collection of fabric strips to an elegant\, lightweight and visually intriguing coat. \nFine will explain how she broke down the design process into 40 questions that anyone can use for designing anything from a garment to a rug. Fine guarantees a less stressful creative process with the clarity you gain through asking these specific questions. But she does not promise a spectacular result every time! The essence of any creative endeavor will always remain a mystery. Your most important abilities are to tolerate uncertainty (temporarily\, to give serendipity a chance) and to muster the courage to jump off the cliff into creative chaos. \n\nBiography\nFine  Gelfand\,  (pronounced: Feena)\nHue & Dye Textiles \nAs a child in Germany I taught myself to embroider and ever since I have been irretrievably enmeshed in textiles. I was introduced to basic weaving in high school but didn’t own a rigid heddle loom until after I got married and moved to the US in 1967. I immediately wove fabric for a coat and skirt and found that I had to teach myself to sew.  I was a weaver for a long time but since I received my certificate in Textile Decoration from the City & Guilds of London program in 2004 I am primarily a surface designer and delight in creating unique garments\, millinery\, accessories and art for the wall.  I think my talent lies in conjuring new relationships between diverse materials and techniques; perpetually asking: What if…?  Inspired by the overwhelming beauty in nature my work continues to be propelled by a lifelong passion for texture and color in all its forms.  \nRecent shows \n2021 “Yoshiko’s Folly”\, solo show\, shibori hats\, PNQ&FAMuseum \n2021 “Birds of a Feather”\, LaConner Quilt &Fiber Arts Museum \n2020 “Reflections”\, LaConner Quilt & Fiber Arts Museum \n2019 “WISD members Bayview Show”\, Clinton\, WA \n2018 Raising the Surface\, WISD\, La Conner Quilt & Fiber Arts Museum \n2017 Fiber Fusion\, WA Surface Design Assoc.\,  Schack Art Center\, Everett\,  \n2016 Beyond The Surface\, WISD\, La Conner Quilt & Textile Mus. \n2015  WISD at WICA\, WISD members show \n2014 “Out of the Blue”\, La Conner Quilt and Textile Museum\, La Conner\, WA \n2014 “Arts Alive”\, Langley\, WA 2013  The Latimer Quilt and Textile Center\, Life On The Left Edge \n2013 “Fiber Art”\, Schack Art Center\, Everett\, WA \n2012  RAGS\, Wearable Art Show\, Tacoma\, WA \n2012 Texture\, Blue Horse Gallery\, Bellingham\, May 6 – 28\, 2012  \n2010  “The Garden As Muse and Medium”\, collaborative show with photographer Joe Menth\, Fine Balance Imaging Studio\, Whidbey Island\, WA \n2010   RAGS wearable art show\, Tacoma\, WA\, Jurors’ Choice Award \n2009   Exposition Chapeau -Creation\, Rencontres Internationales des Arts du Chapeau\, France

SUMMARY:Guild Meeting
DESCRIPTION:2nd Annual Memorial Program \n  \nUzbek Ikat: The Personal Saga of an Exceptional Cloth \nExperience the exotic in your own home town; travel to Central Asia in this multi-media presentation. We have all seen Uzbek Ikat on the runway in New York and London\, now travel back to Uzbekistan with Marilyn to watch the process of its production. Each thread manipulated\, dyed\, and woven into exquisite cloth – truly hand-crafted. \n \nMarilyn Romatka: \nMy focus is living folk art crafts. I teach a wide variety\, from painting techniques to weaving\, the common thread being the techniques are all deep-rooted in a culture from around the world. You might say the techniques I teach have all survived the ‘test of time’. \nI have the best job in the world; I travel to various countries gathering folk art techniques\, then return to the US to teach enthusiastic students!

SUMMARY:Guild Meeting  - 2022 Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Last year’s upcycling program illustrated how several of our guild members have repurposed fiber over the years. Many suggested we continue that theme again this year so “game on”.  We challenge our COSW guild members to google ‘Upcycling Fibers” for ideas to create and share at the end of the year. \n3rd Wednesdays monthly (except December)
