AWSG E-Newsletter November 2018

Presidents Message: Wow! The holiday season is almost upon us. I love the hot chocolate part and the holiday lights all over town brighten up our winter darkness here in Alaska. I'm spending time indoors with my weaving and

dreaming of the beauty of Alaska to put into my weavings. And of course I'm making gifts. The air is extra crisp as it gets a little colder. I do love a walk in that crisp air. It's invigorating and clears the

cobwebs out of the brain. Then it's time for that hot chocolate and focusing on my weaving. Speaking of hot chocolate, I remember one of my daughters returning from studies abroad (Bosnia and Slovakia where she was learning about conflict resolution) and telling about finding hot chocolate shops selling

30+ flavors of hot chocolate. We like to experiment with the flavors just as I love to experiment with new fiber adventures.

Our monthly meeting will be at 10 a.m. on November 10 and will last an extra hour. We will start with Anne Brooks telling about her trip to the Shetland Wool Week Festival in Scotland. She had a whole

week of classes and will share what she learned. After this we will have the mini workshops/classes/demonstrations on methods in both spinning and weaving. These should help

sharpen our skills and introduce us to new or different methods. The Spinner Workshop folks will have Joanne Teague show us how support spindling works and Ellen Halseth will show us drum carding. The Weaving Workshop folks have Sherry Rogers showing us transparent weaving. Remember her

challenge masterpiece last year with the birch trees and the transparent background? This will be interesting. Annita MaGee will show us tapestry and examples of her exquisite work. She also does

transparent weaving. What a great slate of offerings our members will bring us. We have so much talent within the guild and people willing to share what they know. This is so exciting. Plan to stay and learn something new.

During the meeting we will have a silent auction of fiber related wonderful items donated to the guild.

The logistics will be explained during the meeting. There is an article in this newsletter showing us some of what will be available to buy. We will have a break or two to allow you to view and place bids. Then later in the month, on November 17 and 18, we have the Dena'ina craft show. It starts at 10 a.m.

We get to show the community what wonderful and amazing items we create and they can buy from us. There is set-up on November 17. Please contact Anne Brooks and/or Sherry Rogers to volunteer to

help them set-up and to volunteer to help during the sale in the booth. A spouse or two is nice for helping set-up.

It's an exciting month of activities. I hope to see you.

Your President Carol Koford

Membership Renewal Time Again….

If you haven’t renewed your dues, this will be your last newsletter.

It is membership time again. Our guild uses a fiscal year starting in September and ending in August. For years our annual dues were $25 a year. But our costs have increased a lot recently. We out grew our previously free meeting

location and now pay for our monthly meeting location. Plus we need liability insurance before anyone will rent us meeting, classroom or retreat space. Last year the membership voted and approved an increase in annual dues from

$25 to $45 to cover these increases in cost. Please take a moment and renew your membership. We value all members. We have a new online form that collects

your information. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc2LcJMs_YMSY73ofPpnUiDNSR6Aq1oK522J2Mpfr7WatvAwA/viewform?u

sp=sf_link After you enter your information on the form and click “SUBMIT” you will get links to pay using PayPal and get the

address to mail in a check if you prefer. As the person who has to compile the membership list, I am very excited about the new form. No more struggling to read handwriting or making typos that cause emails to bounce back. We

still have a paper form you can complete at the Sept meeting if you prefer. Each year we compile member information into a directory that is ONLY available to members. We find this very

helpful in networking outside of meetings. You may choose to be omitted from the directory or to withhold any part of your information. We never share any of this information outside AWSG. We respect your privacy.

https://northwestweavers.org

And don't forget the ANWG Conference in St George in 2019! The theme is Confluences and its scheduled for June 11th thru the 16th.

Here is the excerpt from the conference blog: (http://confluences2019.blogspot.com/2018/10/a-passion-for.html)

“A passion for yarn….

Last week I introduced some of our instructors and their topics. Since several of those instructors will also be teaching spinning, what can you expect?

Michelle Boyd is 'technical' in her approach, appreciating the sciences involved in spinning.

Coleen Nimetz will put silk under the microscope to discover the essential nature of the fibre and how to work with it

in terms of creating a yarn from the filaments. Kim McKenna will focus on using the distaff as she presents information on how to work flax and wool.

Sarah Wroot will hone in on how to create yarns to use in weaving. If you've ever wanted to go from sheep's back to

your back, this might be the workshop for you! Diana Twiss's approach to creating yarn will be to explore how to create unique colours as the yarn is made.

While Mary Lessman (also an Olds College master spinner instructor) will delve into dyeing yarn with natural dyes.

One of the reasons we chose Confluences as our theme is how often the various techniques in the creation of textiles overlaps, informs and inspires us in our textile practice.”

Treasurer’s Corner Submitted by Karen Williams

Weaving Update Submitted by Sherry Rogers

The Beginning Weaving classes finished up for the month of October but the new weavers are continuing

on. Lots of samples were completed and students are moving on to their own projects. Thanks to all the guild weavers to helped in the classroom over the

month: JeanTruscott, Annita Magee, Carol Koford, Marilyn Barker and a BIG thank you to Bonnie Tisler

for heading up the classes. We hope to continue to get together and weave in the future.

Winter Retreat! Submitted by Karen Williams

I am looking out the window to the lovely site of our first snowfall of the year, having just returned from the valley’s fall retreat. I am really looking forward to our guild’s winter retreat. We will be getting the sign up online soon and will notify via InfoBlast and a website update. Please save the date on your calendar: Mar 22 – 24th We will be using the Maranatha camp again this year. We are holding it a little later, to have a little more sunshine and warmer temperatures. Last year we kept it small and simple. We got a lot of very positive feedback on this approach. People said it was more restful and enjoyable. There was more social interaction too. We are keeping the same formula. Keeping it small, no more than 35 people. We will not have vendors. We will have a movie night, Saturday dinner, an activity, and maybe a class or two. It will be first come, first serve basis for rooms. We will open up for day trippers later if space is available, giving space priority to those who will be spending the whole weekend with us. The rooms in Langley hall are motel like. Most with 2 twin beds and all with ¾ bath. If you stay in Langley you do not have to leave the warm building until Saturday’s dinner that is in a separate cafeteria building. For those on a budget or who what a more rustic camp experience, there will a heated cabin option. With this option you will have to walk more between the bath/shower facilities and the gathering area in Langley hall. But the cabins and bath house are very nice with comfy twin mattresses. Hope we see you there.

Upcoming Events: November Mini Workshops AWSG will hold several simultaneous hour-long free mini-classes after AWSG’s November 11 monthly meeting. Two spinning classes will be included: Ellen Halseth will teach how to successfully use a drum carder, and Joanne

Teague will teach how to use a supported spindle.

On the weaving side, a Tapestry Weaving class with Annita Magee and Sherry Rogers will also be held.

If you’re interested in either one, please plan to stay after the meeting and join in.

2nd Annual Camping Trip Save the dates: July 25 – 28, 2019 Last year’s attendees keep waxing poetic about how fun this was. We will have a sign up genius to notify who is coming, their campsites and to coordinate sharing sites. But anyone can come, even if you do not sign up. The only cost to participants is paid directly to the park service for the camping sites. There are 2 hotels within 6 miles if you prefer to have a bed. Tent walk-in sites are $20. RV/Tent sites with electric are $30. There is a limit of 2 vehicles per site. There is overflow parking for $5/night or free if you have an AK State parking pass. We were pleased at the size of all the sites. Last year we learned it was very reasonable to share campsites. The tent pads at the tent walk in sites can hold 2 large tents per site. The RV/tent sites could get 2 small or medium tents on a pad, plus an RV. Some have enough driveway for 2 small to medium RVs. All of the sites can accommodate an RV and a tent. The K'esugi Ken campsite is very nice, with pit toilets, green space between sites, trails and views. Gathering at the pavilion worked out really well, having lots of sheltered space if it is raining, places to sit in the sun, a fireplace for cooler evenings, picnic tables, benches and even power outlets!

Guild Challenge 2018: Off the Page By Aubrey Campbell

At the October general meeting, the Guild members voted "Off the Page" as the theme for the 2018 Guild Challenge. This theme is to create a project based on a character or book that you love--or perhaps have other strong feelings about. Each month, I'll collect a list of books and projects that will hopefully inspire you to explore more page-bound worlds and the textiles within them.

November Project Ideas

These project ideas are based on literary classics from around the world. From garments and yardage to accessories and utility textiles, these fabrics are inspired by the themes, period, characters, or important plot points in the books.

The Regency Shawl During Jane Austen’s lifetime, the Regency style held sway in English society. Because women’s fashion focused on casual, lightweight, flowing fabrics for clothing, women needed something to keep warm on rainy English days. Thus, intricately woven shawls became the ubiquitous accessories seen in many prints of the time. If your favorite Austen novel is Pride & Prejudice, perhaps try two complementary colors with an unexpected harmony. If you love Persuasion, give something a second change: try a pattern or yarn that you gave up on many years ago.

Art of Warp If you’re the kind of weaver that approaches your warp like a military campaign, why not double-down on the feeling by channeling Sun Tsu’s Art of War? This ancient book on military strategy is still used and taught today, and is the source of the modern aphorism, “all warfare is based on deception”. How can you conquer your project? What aspect of your

weaving is a constant battle?

Aureliano’s Felted Goldfish In Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s magical realism novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude, the warrior-artist Aureliano writes poetry and makes goldfish out of gold. Aureliano also had four sons who were all assassinated in a short period of

time. Try your hand at felting and make a set of four Solitude-inspired decorative goldfish.

Rinehart Hat Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison is a powerful exploration of black identity in 20th century America. One of the themes of the novel is visibility and identity, symbolized eloquently by the hero donning a hat and glasses to hide from the police, and then being confused with the romantic Rinehart character. Try filling your own space with light to see what you discover about identity and visibility in America at the start of a new century.

Akwete Cloth of the Water Akwete is a cloth woven primarily by women in the Igbo region in Nigeria. This is also the region for Chinua Achebe’s partially fictionalized novel, Things Fall Apart, about the British colonization of Nigeria. Akwete uses specific fiber types, weave structure, and colors. After reading Things Fall Apart, stay true to pre-colonial Igbo culture by making a set of traditional Akwete towels.

November Book Suggestions

November is the National Month for Aviation History, Family Stories, Adoption, Alzheimer's Disease, and Native American Heritage. The list below suggests one book for each category, in the hopes you might find a new literary favorite, get the creative juice flowing, and start your challenge project. The links take you to Goodreads for more information about the books.

Fly Girls: How Five Daring Women Defied All Odds and Made Aviation History by Keith O'Brien Fly Girls tells the story of female racing pilots in an age when men ruled the skies.

Orphan Train By Christina Baker The story of a 91-year old Irish orphan and a teenage girl aging out of the American child welfare system.

On Pluto: Inside the Mind of Alzheimer’s By Lisa Genova Investigative Journalist Greg O’Brien uses hope and humor to share his journey of living with early-onset Alzheimer’s.

American Indian Myths & Legends By Richard Erdoes and Alfonso Ortiz This illustrated anthology collects 160 stories from 80 Native American tribal groups amasses a in a broad-ranging exploration of Native American culture.

Scholarship Article: Spinning and Rabbit Holes Submitted by Leah Vandergriff

In December of 2015, I found myself in a volunteer fire station with a room of almost complete strangers trying to

figure out the tension on a borrowed wheel in the presence of Judith McKenzie. I was thrilled and terrified. My wheel does not travel well. It is a reliable, hardworking, homebody of a wheel. My wheel and I go quite well together but not on a plane. However, I was desperate to sit in a class with the Judith McKenzie, so I was depending on the good will of

others.

Fortunately, when people care deeply about something that’s a bit outside the cultural norms, they almost invariably encourage others to care about it as well. Books are loaned, project details swapped, times arranged to spin or weave together. From that overflow of helpfulness, I had a local spinner bringing me a wheel to use in the two-day workshop.

Earlier, when my mother and I had checked in to our hotel rooms, the desk clerk was quite excited to bring out the

novelty that was waiting for us. She barely remembered to provide us with room keys as she asked all the questions most of us have probably heard. Yes, we really do make yarn. Yeah, it is pretty cool. Yes it can take a while. Yes, it’s nothing you can’t learn too; in fact, you should try it sometime. My general December fatigue meant that my own

overflow of helpfulness did not include a demonstration on an unfamiliar wheel in the lobby of a Fairbanks hotel. Two hours later in class, I was half wishing I had. It would have been easier to fake it in front of a novice than learn the set

up of this new wheel in front of strangers and Judith. Judith spoke in her serene, meditative voice while we all started getting a bit of yardage on our wheels. She was

generous with her fiber, and I was intimidated by her presence, so I didn’t talk much. Instead, I tried to work out the tension and speed on the wheel. She told us a little about herself, and then asked us to introduce ourselves. I was

struggling, so I was glad to be able to sit back and focus on the people around me. After we told everyone a little about ourselves, we were supposed to name a few things we were interested in learning.

This was a new problem. I was wondering what to say I wanted to learn, but as much as I couldn’t get the single to feed onto the bobbin my thoughts wouldn’t coalesce either. I mostly just wanted to be there. Beyond technique, the tips

and tricks that only come up in the context of this particular corner of the fiber world are some of the real gold of workshops. However, when pressed I almost always answer plying. I love seeing the myriad ways all those singles can come together to different effects. Basically, I spin singles because I want to ply them.

I, of course, did learn several things. You can barely talk with Judith without discovering something new about this

world she knows so well. I learned about marled yarn, spun in consistent repeats of color by working from left to right across the fiber supply. I was shocked at how well the color transitions matched when I made my 2-ply.

We plied 2 and 3 singles to look at the differences in how the yarn behaves. With very few exceptions (like lace), I’m a

3-ply kind of woman.

Perhaps most difficult for me was seeing the effect that my spinning of those necessary singles had on my finished yarn. I had fallen into, for better or worse a semi-woolen style of spinning. I think expediency was my primary motivator. But when I saw the difference in my beloved 3-plies between a still-working-on-it-worsted and my normal

semi-woolen, I began to rethink some of my life choices.

One of my favorite things was each person, having finished a large chunk of fiber, walking across the room to create a

giant over twisted 2-ply and then plying it again in a cabled yarn. I love the look of these yarns and their finished projects.

You never leave a workshop without plenty to think about. But what has stayed with me the last three years was one

comment Judith made during Saturday morning. One woman mentioned that she had recently heard about spinning paper, that that seemed interesting, maybe worth a look.

“Oh yes,” Judith looked at the woman with a glint in her eye. “There could be a rabbit hole there.” And at that moment I realized that everything we do, from admiring the handmade thing, to learning that it’s knit, to the knitting of the

thing, to the spinning of the yarn, to the dying of the wool, to the sheering of the sheep, was all one rabbit hole. We avoid rabbit trails in purposeful conversation. But those meanderings, when done with interest and curiosity, when we are drawn down them by that spark of wonder, become the ideas that lead us to a room full of strangers on a borrowed

wheel in Fairbanks in December.
