marshfield school of weaving: June 2014
http://marshfieldschoolofweaving.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Marshfield school of weaving. Tuesday, June 10, 2014. Rugs, Rugs and More Rugs! And last but not least, Hannah Flor, from Brooklyn, NY wove as her second project of the week, a 4 block rep weave rug. We used a new yarn for her rug and there was a slight faux pas in that we mistakenly set the yarn too close so half of the background color had to be taken out! The finished rug was beautiful in the end of the day but it was quite a sight during the weaving of it. Robin starting the ikat ties.

Marshfield school of weaving. Tuesday, July 14, 2015. Exploring the wonders of 3 Shafts - Krokbrag. Lynnette and Suzi consulting on a summer blanket pattern. Justin starting Mimi on her Krokbrag linen warp. Tricia, Betty and Kristina hard at work threading their rugs. Kristina contemplating the next design option. Betty color coordinated with her rug! Tricia's use of odds and ends yarn made a very pleasing color. Mimi's variation on the "green" theme. Suzi making sure that her stripes are matching up.

marshfield school of weaving: April 2014

Marshfield school of weaving. Wednesday, April 30, 2014. April….more Rugs, etc…. Well….April has come and gone and it would be nice to say that Spring is now here but that would not quite be the truth. Unfortunately the woodstove still needs to be stoked and although the snow is all gone except for on the north side of things, the landscape is still pretty brown and dead. Enough of the weather.

Marshfield school of weaving. Wednesday, January 28, 2015. Our first winter work study student - Kristen Rosser. We started off our winter season of work study students with Kristen Rosser form Phila., PA. She was a recent graduate of Tyler Art School in Philadelphia, looking to hone her textile skills. It wasn't until some weeks into the session that we found out how Kristen makes a living - shearing sheep….and what she likes to do in her spare time - swing dancing!

Marshfield school of weaving. Saturday, May 23, 2015. April Showers bring….Dosia and a few others back! Our VT. Folklife grantee, Joann Darling, was also back to continue her work with linen and this months projects were to feature natural dyed yarn in the warp and weft. Her second project of using a 30/1 linen was truly a labor of love and though not without a few broken ends, yielded a beautiful end product. Now on to May and we'll see what warmer weather brings. Dosia painting her new cotton warp.
