OCTOBER PROGRAM

SHIBORI RESISTS FOR HANDWEAVERS OR KNITTERS

Description Jay reviews his transition from hand

knitter to shibori dyer Tie dye my knitting why not

A lot of sampling was necessary to perfect resists on

loose stretchy knits that didnrsquot behavior like tightly

woven cottons or silks more typically used for shi-

bori

His knowledge of complex resists then lead to refine-

ment of resist dyeing on wovens texturing silk organ-

zas with scouring and further dye work to unlock the

secrets of natural dyes His latest work has involved

use of pairs of mirror image carved boards for clamp

resist dyeing

Jay Rich is a self taught life long hand knitter from Nebraska His textile education

has been informal beginning in childhood with family members and accidental teach-

ers along the way North Dakota winters were cold and textile hand work was a

frequent indoor activity He tried everything

His science background has helped more recent exploration of natural dyes indigo

and eco-friendly dye processes Textile study has included trips to Japan Chile UK

China France and many venues within the United States primarily to study shaped

resist dyeing In 2011 he had the opportunity to study 17th and 18th century mor-

dant printing and organic indigo reduction with Michel Garcia in southern France

He collects resist dyed textiles for study and to guide experimentation His artistic

approach initially uses historical review and scientific exploration which then be-

comes highly intuitive He is a member of the World Shibori Network and Surface

Design Association edits the Omaha Weaverrsquos and Spinners Newsletter and serves

on the Friends of the Robert Hillestad Textile Gallery board Jay will bring his sam-

ples and parts of his textile collection for study and discussion

From the Presidenthellip Thanks so much for passing the budget at the September meeting Now we can move full speed on all

those plans for the rest of the year As a fairly new knitter Irsquom really looking forward to learning about

Shibori with hand-knits Irsquod taken a workshop on Shibori years ago but I wasnrsquot a knitter back then so

Irsquom sure Irsquoll learn lots in October I hope you are all looking forward to the program and workshop too

We do have some not-so-great news Susan Burnett will not be able to continue as Communication Co-

ordinator due to health issues The good news is that she has already coordinated all the sub-committees

with captains for each We are still in need of a President-Elect and the most pressing issue in that camp

is the nominating committee Without a President-Elect we have no way to get the board together for

next year If you can help on the Nominating Committee please let me know via an email (or phone call)

September WorkshopmdashDonna Kallner

If you missed Donna Kallnerrsquos New Age Looping workshop you missed an

historic opportunity We spent two days exploring techniques of new age loop-

ing ndash skipped stitch looping and Burundi looping and came away with two

(mostly) completed projects and LOTS more ideas Looping will not unravel can

be put down and picked up again easily (if any of you out there who have those

haunting UFOs where you canrsquot remember where you left off ndash this does not hap-

pen with looping) and can be worked in small scale so is easily portable As an

added bonus we now have another reason to work with beads This was a great

workshop and a wonderful weekend of learning a ldquonewrdquo ancient fiber art Thanks

My Weaving Journey by Carla Ray Sale Co-Chair

I moved to Colorado from the mid-west in 1992 newly married and a new weaver I

pursued the craft slowly taking a few classes from Judy Dittmore in Colorado Springs

while settling into our new community Life got busy as it always does learning a new

job then another setting up a house in south Denver and building a place in the moun-

tains Then at age 40 I become a mother for the first time and life got a little crazier

All the while I tried to weave making things for family and friends Despite my schedule

I felt this need to meet and bond with other weavers Letrsquos face it no one understands

a weaver better than another weaver So I went to a Rocky Mountain Weavers Guild

sale and became inspired by the artisanship of the things for sale and decided to go to a

meeting It wasnrsquot love at first sight I felt the time could be better spent weaving than going to a meeting but the yearn-

ing for the weaving camaraderie tugged at me I finally join the Guild in 2004 and weaving became a real passion I soon

saturated all my family and friends with handwoven goods and started to do arts and craft shows to sell my inventory I

tried selling at a few consignments shops along the way too

About 5 years ago I became involved in the Guildrsquos annual fiber arts sale first working with the sale set up then as co-

chair of the sale It always amazes me to see all the beautiful things that hang on the display racks of the sale and I get

excited to see the event come together every year The committee works hard meeting several times throughout the

year attending to every detail We all work well together have our jobs and know exactly what needs to be done Itrsquos a

wonderful group and I applaud everyone on the committee for their hard work and dedication So the next time you

hear someone say the annual sale is not worth the trouble or the sale is not necessary for our Guild think again I would

not be a member today if I had not gone to a Guild sale some 8 years ago and I would suspect there are several other

members with a similar experience The Guild sale is the best way to be visible within our community and letrsquos face it

we need new perhaps younger members to continue the long traditions of this wonderful Guild I hope everyone partici-

pates helps or shops at our sale It supports everyone in our Guild

Study Groups

ROOKIE Rookies now Rookies Out of Bounds (ROB) is a group comprised of weavers

from a variety of levels from beginner to advanced We meet the first Wednesday

evening of each month rotating the meeting location among the membersrsquo homes Each spring we set up a challengestudy for the coming year This year (2012-13)

we decided to use the triad colors on the color wheel using a structure of your choice to produce napkins

for an exchange In order to participate in the exchange you will need to commit to the project at our Sep-

tember meeting In order to keep the napkins somewhat consistent we are suggesting the use of 102 cot-

ton If you donrsquot have any 102 then try using a yarn as close as possible from your stash We donrsquot want a

lack of 102 cotton to stop you from participating The napkins should all be a finished size of 14rdquox14rdquo You

will also receive a draft work sheet at the September meeting to be completed with your napkin The ex-

change will take place at our May 2013 gathering
