October 2017 Meeting

Wichita Weavers, Spinners & Dyers Guild Posted on September 14, 2017 by webadminSeptember 10, 2017

Millefiori Felted Beads

These hand felted beads mimic the glass beads with flowers all over them that had been created in Italy for centuries. Millefiori necklaces, paper weights, etc became very popular in Victorian times.

Come felt the beads and string them with other beads to create a necklace you can wear by the end of the meeting.

Fiber Prep Tools – Resources

Wichita Weavers, Spinners & Dyers Guild Posted on September 7, 2017 by webadminSeptember 10, 2017

Building on the September 2017 meeting program, here are a few online resources for the tools demonstrated by Guild members Sharon Barnes, Susan De Wit, April Nilsen, Nancy Squire and Denise Renee.

Download the meeting’s handout, a chart of fiber prep tools and their uses.

Please bear in mind that there are many ways to use these tools, and that the ‘right’ way is the way that works for you (as long as you stay safe)!  Try searching YouTube for other techniques.

Weaving at CityArts… or Not

Wichita Weavers, Spinners & Dyers Guild Posted on September 2, 2017 by webadminOctober 2, 2017

Guild members were interviewed for a televised news story aired September 1st on KSN Channel 3 about the decision to end all fiber classes as of December 1, 2017.

KSN reporter Emily Younger spoke to City of Wichita and CityArts representative John D’Angelo, who said that a decision has not actually been made, in spite of his informing weaving and spinning instructor Nancy Squire that classes would end after the fall session.

Guild members and anyone else interested in the future of weaving and spinning classes in the Wichita area are invited to attend a meeting with D’Angelo on Tuesday, September 5th at 6:00 pm at CityArts.  Get directions here.  A reporter from the Wichita Eagle may also be in attendance.

Follow us on Facebook for developments and updates!
