Founded in January 2006, our
mission is to provide a venue for the exchange of knowledge and ideas for the
community of hand weavers of Central Virginia. We began with 22 Charter Members and have continued to add to our numbers ever since. Members from Charlottesville and the surrounding counties represent all levels of weaving skills from beginning weavers through production weavers and weaving instructors. We welcome all who have an interest in any aspect of weaving from collectors to weaving students to professional weavers. Please join us if you have an interest in weaving! | 2012 Schedule January Weaving with Handspun February History of Looms March Huck Lace April April 11-15: Workshops with Melissa Weaver Dunning April 15: Workshop Open House May Weaving in Ecuador Monticello Weaving Demos June Fiber/Tool Swap July July 13-15: Shadow Weave Workshop with Dee Dee Greer August Picnic & Natural Dyeing September Member Show & Tell, Discussion of workshops, Convergence, exhibits October Fall Fiber Festival - Weaving Demos November Annual meeting; Elections December Holiday Potluck Party |
