February 25 Meeting
Small Loom Weaving
Our own BASD member,
Barbara Provest, will be our speaker. Barbara comes from a family of weavers and
she began weaving in fifth grade. She
did a lot of knitting before turning to weaving “big time” in 1970. She has collected both a large number of
books on weaving and many small looms.
Barbara will bring a number of her looms to tell us about, some all ready
for us to try, and items she has woven on these looms to get us inspired. Barbara is a member of The Weavers’ Guild of
Boston, has studied Japanese weaving techniques, and gives private
lessons.
