It’s been a little over one year since Ruthie’s Weaving Studio moved into the new space, how time flies! So much has happened during the move and ever since. There’s a new studio! Ruthie’s is now a nonprofit! There’s an updated website (and hopefully a regular blog schedule), and we’ve welcomed quite a few new weavers!
To celebrate the occasion, everyone brought in something for a potluck on January 26th, 2025. Robin put together a slideshow with photos and shared memories of how an empty warehouse space came a long way to where it is now as the weaving studio where we stand today. From grinding down the cement floor, doing electrical and plumbing work, and moving everything into the new place, the list of things that had to be done seemed endless! I wasn’t a member of Ruthie’s during this transition but from what I’ve seen and heard, the studio wouldn’t be where it is today without the hard work, dedication, and time of members of the weaving studio as well as friends of the studio.
In addition to the lovely food, drink, and lovely conversation, Lynne shared a presentation on the basics of weaving with a draw loom. She explained basic terminology and did a little demo with her project currently on the draw loom that we have at the studio!
Happy (belated) 1 year anniversary in the new space, and here’s to many more!
