I’ve not been in the studio as frequently since the weather has gotten sunnier, but others have been! One of the great things about coming into the studio is that we get to see and be inspired by other projects members are working on. It’s a gift to be able to exchange knowledge and be inspired by fellow weavers to experiment with others.
There are so many different woven techniques out there, and it’s always a joy to see not only the works in progress but also the finished pieces that the weavers are bringing back to show the rest!
Here’s a few projects that I’ve seen around:
Lynne completed this at the end of 2025, a great example of a draw loom weaving.
A close up of Nova’s towel. Finnish twill adapted from M Davidson pg 37 #41
Janis’s recently finished woven totes. Even the straps were handwoven!
Shadow weave towel made by Carol on a 8 shaft/10 treadle loom from 8/2+16/2 cotton.
One of Diana’s first towels at Ruthies.
Robin’s Whitewater Draw Refuge tapestry woven with the Theo Moorman technique.
Melody B’s Tablerunner and placemats woven with 1″ Batik fabric strips.
There are so many different types of woven projects that I’ve seen, where color and structure are at play in the most exciting ways.
