"Melissa Weaver Dunning's January 2017 workshop at Marshfield
titled "L'Amour de Maman: 2-Harness Weavings of the Acadians and French
Canadians" was enjoyable and a great learning experience for my wife
Melanie and me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>More than we
anticipated, studying at Marshfield School of Weaving was rewarding and
transformative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Marshfield is a unique
facility with an amazing diversity of historic looms, spinning wheels, and
related equipment, and the instructors share the knowledge and skills that
allow workshop participants to continue the legacy of traditional weaving heritages.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were hesitant about travelling from
Florida to Vermont in January, but Marshfield offered a warm and welcoming
environment that made our trip worthwhile.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Walking in the door was like stepping into the past, and we were
inspired by all facets of weaving work around us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was an impressive reference collection
of dyed yarns at the entrance, and a large collection of historic spinning
wheels was undergoing restoration in a workshop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

We learned a great deal, and our time at Marshfield was richly
rewarding and inspiring. I waited 8
years to take a workshop at Marshfield because I thought my weaving skills needed
to be more advanced, but I was mistaken.
Beginners were made welcome and comfortable, and were quickly brought up
to speed. I missed opportunities by
hesitating in taking Marshfield workshops in the past, but I will not do that again. We sincerely encourage others to seek their
own great experiences at Marshfield.<o:p></o:p></div>

The first step in weaving a rag rug from tee shirts is to figure out what you want to do and how to do it! I nearly wore out the books I borrowed from Lois. Lots of ideas—so difficult to choose! When I showed my favor- ites to Kate at Marshfield Weaving, she said, “Jan, you never do choose the easy ones!” I still haven’t woven my favorite examples—maybe someday!

They were contacting us, since it was known that the school had recently become a non-profit institution, and we were now eligible to receive some of their de-accessioned equipment. This news was greeted by our staff and Board of Directors with both awe and sadness as this museum was a landmark in the history of textile technology and their collection one of the finest. Once we agreed to this proposal there was much work to do and Kate immediately began construction on a section of her barn where the bulk of the equipment would be stored until it was needed for classes at the school. Once the site was ready, we began the first of three trips down to Lowell with an amazing crew of volunteers and their vehicles. For the first two trips we rented a 26' UHaul - driven by Jim Colgan, truck driver extraordinare - and had the loan of many other small truck and cars. Special thanks for all of their help go to Linda and Jeff Gabrielson, Patty Lewis, Alan Castonguay, Nelly Detra, Elena Hovey, Robert Almodovar, Lauren Walker, Brittany Lewis, Sue Carpenter, Ellie Blachly, Heidi Beilenberg, Justin Squizzero, Craig Evans, Norman Kennedy, Kate Smith, Dosia Sanford, and Elkin!
Now that some of the equipment is here we are looking forward to sharing some of these treasures with our students via a set of new classes. We feel a great responsibility to keep these artifacts safe and sound but to also use them in the manner that they were intended and to allow them to be seen and used by many!<br />

They were all incredibly enthusiastic and full of energy and some beautiful fabrics were woven while they were here. Because our fall weather was so mild this year, we were able to do lots of natural dyeing still outside and the colors that they achieved were phenomenal. I have only included a small portion of what they each wove during their stay....but you'll get the idea!

We had five looms set up with different drafts and the plan was for each student to weave a length of fabric and then share some with the rest of the group for the sample book. As things turned out two of our participants had to cancel so that left only Anne Low, former student from Vancover, to weave all the samples herself! Dosia, Lynnette and Ada also pitched in for some loom time and in the end of the day we had some beautiful fabrics to illustrate these unique drafts. All were woven out of materials that would have been close to the fabrics of the period ….very fine cotton - 30/2 and 50/2 - fine worsted and a singles cotton. Anne even valiantly tried to "Nap" our fustian sample as it would have been done in the 18th c. We hope to continue sampling Hargrove's drafts in the future so stay tuned!<br />

100% guaranteed to make you smile: go to Marshfield<br />
School
of Weaving and take a seat at an 18<sup>th</sup> century barn loom.<br />
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Maybe it’s because I grew up wanting to cut the ropes that
separated me from every early-American period room I toured with my very
historically-based parents. Ok, maybe. But I had friends visit MSW while I was
there and without exception, each person was fascinated with the weaving barn and
totally excited when I suggested they sit at the loom and feel what it was like
to weave. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p> </o:p>When I got to the school, Kate took me straight to a wall of
dyed fibers and told me to pick colors for my warp. And then, she led me
upstairs to a weaver’s paradise: a barn loft with magnificent looms and all the
tools of the trade. I was now not only in the same room as the antique items
I’ve always wanted to touch, I was now expected (happily) to learn how to use
them! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p> </o:p>Kate brought me to a gigantic warping board and taught me
how to wind a warp with multiple colors threaded through a skarne. She taught
me complicated “cross”: under/over/under/over, thumb in, palm up, put the cross
on, loop around the beginning peg and repeat. Winding the warp is a dance with
the threads.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p> </o:p>Back at the loom: I beam on. Let it be known that I came to
MSW with some weaving experience but beaming on a barn loom is crazy-fun. You
end up with curtains of warp threads hanging off weights and winding onto tree-trunk-sized
back beams. You are climbing in and out of a 200-year-old hand-crafted loom the
size of a four-poster bed. Seriously, fun.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p> </o:p>Master weavers Kate and Justin tutored me on how to
speed-thread heddles (lol, ok, ok! I’m still working on it!) And, in the home
stretch, I sley the reed, attach the harnesses, tie up the treadles, learn a bunch
of new knots and finally, <i>finally</i>, I
get to climb onto the built-in slanted wooden bench and begin to weave.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p> </o:p>Everything leading up to this moment is historical, manual, seemingly
complicated but oddly simple, but nothing prepares you for the moment that you
actually get to feel the loom in action.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p> </o:p>The slant of the bench leans you forward onto the breast
beam, your feet feel like they are on a walk as you press each treadle in the
order of the pattern, you create a rhythm with your feet and your hands as you
let fly the shuttle through the sheds. The beater bar actually bounces as it
packs your weft into place.</div>

Due to their overwhelming generosity, we have been able to start the "Lemuel and Jessie Hudson Scholarship Fund" to help students in need find a place at the school. We are honored to have them be a part of the MSW family!<br />
<br />
<br />
"Marshfield, Vermont. That’s what it said. Marshfield, Vermont.
Where on earth was Marshfield, Vermont?
Having googled “beginner weaving class” the web had brought me to Eaton Cemetery Road. (I did wonder if that cemetery was where the less than successful students ended up.) I mustered all my courage and phoned to make arrangements for me to take my first class. I was so relieved to speak to a warm and very helpful person who was very glad to accept my registration. My husband had been very supportive of my plans but assured me that he would stay and at home and “tend things” so that I could go. The next day I was calling to change the reservation to include the two of us.
“Yes, that will be my husband and myself”, I said. “Oh....not so many husband and wife weaving teams?” Hum, maybe not such a good idea. But we forged ahead.
Having braved the New Jersey Turnpike and lived to tell the tale we were nearly giddy as we arrived at the school. Monday morning came and we met Kate, Norman, Lynnette and Justin in the barn and I suspect verified that we were indeed “Southern” in our mind set. We went to work and joyfully have never looked back.
Lem was as Kate put it, “like a fish thrown into water”. He wove a wool throw and a baby blanket in his first class. I finished my wool throw and our lives were forever changed. Then Lem found Kate’s stash in the barn. It was filled with old looms that just needed some love and soon we were making plans to return to load our truck with the carcasses of looms that would become projects in his wood working shop.
Now we have built a studio on our farm where all those old looms have come back to life. There are several new weavers joining us to learn and explore weaving in nearly every fiber and fashion we can find. Bi-yearly visits to Marshfield insure that Kate and the gang continue to hone our skills for us and everyone at MSW have become like family.<br />
Why learn to hand weave? Not exactly sure...but for us it was similar to the calling that those early 20th c. proponents of the “Craftsman” movement, or the Shakers - “Hands to work, Hearts to God”.
Marshfield School of Weaving has changed our lives and enriched them immensely. It is our sincere hope to see to it that this school and those who have given their skills and hearts to it will remain for a very long time. Thank you dear friends....you have given us the skills to fill our retirement with productive joy!"<br />

learned to weave in a small studio in New York City in 1975, on a contemporary Harrisville
floor loom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After two courses in that
studio, and another course elsewhere, I began a small business out of my tiny
Manhattan apartment of weaving scarves and shawls, selling the products through
craft fairs and private commissions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
also did some production weaving for a professional weaver in Manhattan doing
her own line of textiles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 1979, I
left New York and my professional practice to undertake the full time study of
traditional weaving at the Marshfield School of Weaving. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a six week intensive course with four
other students, I was able to stay on living and working at the school with
Norman and assisting in the teaching of new students for another year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I remained affiliated the School for another
three years, living in my own residence and helping out at the school and doing
my own weaving.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I waited tables to support
myself.<o:p></o:p></span>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua";">This was
the most active period of my life as a professional weaver, and certainly the
most productive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was involved in
numerous juried exhibitions and was a juried member of the Society for Arts and
Crafts in Boston, and the State Craft Center at Frog Hollow in Middlebury,
VT.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was selected competitively as an
Artist-in-Residence for six years with the Vermont Council on the Arts, as well
as producing my own woven goods for sale. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 1981 I participated in a large juried
state-wide exhibition and was awarded one of two “Awards for Technical
Excellence” by juror, Jack Lenor Larsen. In 1985, Kate, Norman myself and Mary
Worley mounted a year-long exhibition of our traditional weaving that
circulated to several galleries throughout the state.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "book antiqua";">In 1986,
tired of being poor, I moved to Boston to return part-time to my other
profession as a psychotherapist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My
equipment was stored and my weaving was limited to use of the looms at the
school in Marshfield when I could visit for an extended period of time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During that time, I completed seven yards of
tweed, which was professionally tailored into a sports coat and vest; five
yards of singles linen for shirting material and five yards of linen for vest and
pants.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua";">In 1992 I
purchased my current home in Brookfield, NH and restored the 1785 center
chimney Cape. By 1994 I was able to return to some limited spinning and
weaving.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a result of my pursuit of
part-time evening studies at Tufts University, I was awarded a Graduate
Certificate in Museum Studies in 1999, with a specialty in small history
museums.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In more recent years, the
emphasis on my craft has shifted towards consulting with museums regarding
their textiles and textile tools, gathering my own extensive collection of
hand-woven antique textiles and tools, and demonstrations and presentations on
the same subject to a variety of interested groups and cultural events.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since being in Brookfield, I have had a small
business selling textiles, looms and wheels and the assorted tools used with
both and in flax preparation. I developed a bit of specialty in great wheels
and have enjoyed learning more and more about the various makers and aspects of
each wheel. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I continued to spin and dye,
and to weave occasional projects on my own barn frame loom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua";">In 2008
and again in 2014 I was awarded an “Apprenticeship Grant” from the NH State
Council on the Arts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This allowed me to
work intensively with an “apprentice”, teaching them what I’ve learned about
the techniques and tools of the trade of the pre-industrial revolution period
in northern New England with a focus on domestic weaving.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Similarly, studying the socio-cultural and
economic contexts of the same period in which traditional or heritage weaving
thrived has always been an interest of mine and the grant afforded me an
opportunity to share that with the student in a museum setting at the NH Farm
Museum in Milton, NH.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua";">At least
once or twice a year I get to visit the school and am always absolutely
enthused by the creative energy and work being accomplished under Kate and the
staff. I treasure my friendship with Norman and Kate and all that I continue to
learn from them. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From time to time I
wonder what life would have been like had I stayed more concentrated on weaving."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Learning to weave had been on my to do list and the time was right.
Arriving on a Sunday, the school was quiet. I went into the barn to look around and was awed by the scene. The studio was so beautiful with the antique looms, the spinning wheels, the view of out of the wraparound windows....The scent of the wool, and, from an open window, the breeze announced that someone was cutting hay nearby.
Monday morning found me starting the warp for a Scottish Wedding Blanket. It was hard to believe that the entire project would be finished by weeks end. Norman set the bar high enough for his students to work hard. Kate was an invaluable assistant to Norman. I don’t think either of them thought I’d last as a weaver.
Not only did I last through that blanket (which is one of my most beloved- and after 30 years- bedraggled possessions), I continued to study with, and occasionally vex, Norman. The school became an important focus in my life, I joined the board of directors at the school and served until 1991when a career move required me to leave Northern New England and return to the Boston area. I stayed in touch with Kate and Norman and visited the school as often as possible.
Over the course of the 30 years since that first week at MSW, my life has changed and evolved as our lives do. Career, marriage, child, moves. Through it all, my looms have accompanied me. I owned a busy yarn shop on Cape Cod for several years, Blue Heron Yard Studio, and always kept a loom in the shop-the exposure was excellent. I closed the yarn shop to concentrate on weaving for a client list developed during those years in Barnstable Village and have never looked back.
I live in Newport RI now, and have studio space in the Shady Lea Mill in N. Kingstown RI. The Shady Lea Mill is an incredible community of artists and artisans that is a pleasure to be a part of. It’s a serious and supportive environment to work in.The big event each year is Open Studios weekend, the First Weekend of December.
This past December over 6500 people came through the Mill on that one weekend.
Standing the in the whirlwind of visitors and customers in my studio, I thought for a moment about far I’d come from that lovely summer day 30 years ago when I was totally captivated -and intimidated- but doggedly determined to master the art of designing and creating textiles."<br />

Another new student from Brooklyn - Renata (Ray) Mosci - came up for the last two weeks of March to work on Saki Ori, huck lace linen and an alpaca throw. Fortunately on her second day here, March obliged us with one of the beautiful 60deg. days so we were able to set up the indigo vat outside and get all the fabric dyed for her project. Dosia also experimented with dyeing her already woven rugs in the indigo vat with some amazing results!<br />
Another highlight of March was that we celebrated 5 of our local students birthdays with two great potluck lunches. The first was for Jerusha Fox and Jen Eger (sorry no photos of that one) and the second was for Emily Falta, Ada Schenk and Linda Gabrielson. There was no shortage of desserts for either potluck which is always a good antidote to the crazy weather this time of year.
And then to top off the month, another one of our "for sale" barn looms had headed off for a new home in Brooklyn. Ray was so enchanted with the one that she worked on during her two week stay that she decided to take one home with her. It's nice to know that yet another barn loom now resides in Brooklyn!

This month started off with our first work study student of the year, Drew McKenzie, from Monkton, VT and he has been weaving some amazing things in his short time here. Starting off with the Scottish Wedding Throw he then moved on to using Scottish tweed yarn to weave a scarf and his current project is a fine cotton/linen fabric to make a shirt. Down the list is a hand spun, hand dyed tartan blanket which Norman is going to supervise the making of. Drew has already told us that he never wants to leave so it may be that we have to be creative in finding him a job!
Next of our new men, was Jeff Priest, from South Burlington, who also wanted to weave a throw but not in our typical colors of blue and white. He (or rather, his wife!) chose a beautiful coral and grey Maine Line mixed with white in big bold bands. It was stunning when finished and if he didn't have to work a real job, he would be here on a regular basis as well.
Former student, Amy Danielson's husband Bill was our other male student this month and ostensibly he only came along to watch the warping that Amy was going to do for their new loom. But there was no holding him back and he took to warping like a duck to water.<br />
<br />
And did I mention maple syrup?? Sugaring season is in full swing in a year where everyone was dubious that we would have any runs at all…. with this crazy weather that we had this winter. But in fact, the sap started to run and has not stopped….keeping my trim weaver, Sue Carpenter, chained to the sugar house and the St. John the Divine gallon that she was supposed to be weaving sitting forgotten on the loom.

Folklife Grantee's and our trusty regulars. We started off with new student, fellow Vermonter, Katie Dembinski, who came to weave a throw and some towels and then Melissa Goetz from upstate NY and Jolie Lerner from Brooklyn. Melissa and Jolie both wove a Scottish wedding throw and some dishtowels in their five day stay. Emily and Ada continued on their Folklife Grant projects and Ada finished a beautiful piece of 16/2 cotton clothing fabric. Emily has finished her spinning and is now getting ready to weave her full sized wool blanket. Jerusha Fox also finished a piece of fabric using rayon/linen and Jen Eger cut off a warp of beautiful rugs.<br />
<br />
The biggest news of the month is that the school has now become a non-profit organization again. We have an incredible group of dedicated Board members who are working hard to deal with all of the IRS paperwork and to shift the school from Kate's personal business to a non-profit educational entity. There is much to sort out but we are meeting every two weeks to get things completed before our busy summer season begins.
The new Board consists of Sue Carpenter - local dairy farmer and Eaton Hill trim weaver - as President, Bruce Wescott - husband of Ellie Blachly our Eaton Hill upholstery colleague - as Treasurer, Linda Gabrielson - former dean of VT Community College and one of our local weavers - as Secretary, Gregory Sanford - former archivist for the State of Vt and Dosia's dad - as member, Justin Squizzero - master weaver and embosser for Eaton Hill -as member, and yours truly - Director of MSW and owner of Eaton Hill Textile Works - as member. Our greatest hope is to establish a scholarship fund, find more grants to fund students and to get the word out to the weaving world that we are alive and well!

Emily Falta will be learning to spin wool to weave a double bed blanket,<br />
Joann Darling will be putting together prospective dye and flax processing classes and Ada Schenk will be working on clothing fabrics with a goal of doing some teaching on this subject in the future.<br />
<br />
Of our regulars - Jen Eger has decided to focus on rugs for a few months and has woven a length of warp faced carpeting and some weft faced tapestry rugs. Stevie worked on some beautiful 8 shaft wool throws and Dosia wove off another warp painted warp. New student - Kathleen McVeigh - came for a week and wove off a wool throw and a series of multi colored striped dishtowels. <br />
<br />
To end the month we had an exhibit open at Frog Hollow State Craft Center in Burlington curated by our very own Jerusha Fox. For the opening, Norman talked about the early history of the school and then lead a tweed walking of Dosia's tweed. The crowd were mesmerized and we have already heard from a few folks who want to be prospective students. The show is up until Feb. 29, 2016 if you happen to be up in Burlington.<br />

"The last time I visited Marshfield School was just prior to acquiring my current cat. At the school Kate was working on producing moire patterned fabric, a process not yet perfected. In the evening she would put the calender press to bed with fresh fabric, and in the morning Kate would open the press. Upstairs I would hear cries of delight from below (it worked) or curses (fabric scorched.) When I got home, moire patterns were fresh in my mind and when we picked up the new kitten, it was obvious: he could only be Moire.<br />
My interest in weaving began in 1969 while watching a friend dash off scarves for Christmas on a small folding loom. Not long after, I visited the Putney Mountain loom maker in the dead of winter and found his driveway lost in ice and snow. I was able to climb up and I ordered a nice 4S 45” loom. “How do you get a loom down your driveway to ship?” I asked. “Sleds” he replied. I taught myself to weave on this loom from books and my imagination: I wracked my brain about how to contrive warp weights and came up with sacks of potatoes! Now I weave on a Fireside Fiber Arts 10S 60” loom and Glimakra 12S 63” loom which is fitted with damask hardware which I have yet to learn (and use brass rods for weights.)<br />
I worked in computer software until 2001, weaving when I could as a hobby. In 1991 I took my first weaving class in Taos with James Kohler, who became a famous tapestry weaver. He made tapestry seem easy and introduced me to Navajo designs. I was inspired and for a number of years did only large tapestry wall hangings starting with a simple chief blanket of black and white stripes between wide stripes of my own colored designs.<br />
After retiring, I missed linen and other types of weaves. I set up a small business, Rosepath Weaving, and wove housewares by commission and also for the large annual sale of Weavers’ Guild of Boston. Commission work is an opportunity to translate a client’s vision into reality. We sit at my dining room table with samples, yarns and weaving books to choose whatever the client likes that is within my skills. It can be a constrained environment as the case of the “husband chair problem” which was solved by two throws for a pair of beloved brown chairs (the husband’s) to extend the feel of the delicate Asian sofa (the wife’s) and play down the brown chairs. But commissions can also be an exploration of something new, as in the case of the chenille throw in analogous colors, purple-red-orange.<br />
I found Kate Smith and Marshfield School of Weaving after looking through back issues of Shuttle, Spindle and Dyepot where I recalled reading about the school. I loved the historic weaves I found at the school. I developed a keen appreciation for what the old timers had accomplished as well as the beauty of simplicity and attention to detail.<br />
After Marshfield, I became interested in the Guild’s languishing program of volunteer weaving for Plimoth Plantation. I revived it and recruited guild members to weave toweling and throws. In collaboration with Kate Smith who custom-dyed the colors, I produced the first throw from a tiny detail<br />
of a period painting. Since then I’ve explored on my own linens in northern Europe in the 17th c. I find that people love the stories of the origin of weaves I use; it gives handwovens life.<br />
I have a current hobby project with the Carlisle Historical Society, which recently received a 17th c. loom I’m working with others to restore. I’m including a picture of part of the warp beam braking system and would appreciate hearing from anyone who has seen anything like it."<br />

10 Students returned for our 40th year Anniversary discount and it was so wonderful to see them again and work with them on new projects. We had 2 new work study students in the winter- Leslie Finneran and Kristin Rossier and both of them worked hard and made good use of their time here. Leslie has now started to work with Jagger Spun in Maine and we will get to check in with her every time we place an order. Congratulations Leslie! 3 students were funded by the VT Folklife Center Grant this year- Joann Darling, Ada Schenk and Emily Falta and our regular contingent of local monthly students has grown to include Jennifer Eger, Linda Gabrielson and Jane Quimby. And last but not least, Zoe Sheehan Saldana, indigo dyer extraordinaire was back this December to dye rice paper for her new kite making venture. <br />

What is ahead:<br />
<br />
Exhibit at Frog Hollow - VT. State Craft Center - Burlington, VT - featuring the current staff and students of the Marshfield School of Weaving. Runs from 18 January to February 29, 2016. Opening on 21 January 2016. <br />
<br />
Non - profit status: This is the year that the school will qualify once again as a non -profit organization. We are working hard to get things in order so that we can actively start our campaign for a major scholarship fund. We will also be pursuing more grant options for students beyond the Vt. Folklife Center Grant who continue to fund us in their master/apprenticeship program. <br />
<br />
Master Classes in Weaving: This is a new series of classes designed for exploring some of the more obscure fabric groups and weave structures. It is specifically designed for students who wish to go into more depth in both technique and history.<br />
Topics this year include Singles Linen, Fabrics from the historic draft books of John Hargrove and<br />
Silas Burton and Calimanco Stripes. We are open to suggestions of anything else that you would like to see us offer! <br />

MSW Alumni Week: Last year we had five of our former students come for a week in July to take advantage of the 40th Anniversary discount and to weave Krokbrag rugs and Summer Blanket Winter sheets. It was a fabulous week and so wonderful to see old faces and have that concentrated energy of five students weaving together on similar projects. So...we decided to continue that tradition and hope to see more of you come to weave during our 3 alumni sessions!<br />
<br />
<br />
Teacher Training: As Norman and Kate get close to retiring (Ha, Ha!!), we have discovered a need to be training the next links in the chain so that this great institution will survive into the future. The trainings will be scheduled in the spring, summer and take place over 3 -4 days. Basically a student will come and learn how to teach - fine tune their warping and loom dressing skills, learn new weave structures and polish their weaving technique. To aid in this process we will be publishing a booklet called - “Warping and Dressing the Barn Frame Loom” with text by Kate and photos by Justin Squizzero. We are excited about seeing the next generation of weaving teachers take flight!<br />

I first heard about Norman Kennedy and the Marshfield School of Weaving in the mid 1970's when I was living in Williamsburg, VA. Several of my friends worked at Colonial Williamsburg and they knew Norman, who had recently moved north to start the school. In late 1979, I made a trip to New England to visit the weaving school and liked life in Vermont so much that I found a job in Montpelier and became a neighbor.<br />
My early hands-on experience with weaving was with Craig Evans who was at that time an apprentice at the school. Between Norman and Craig they taught me to make my first warp for cotton dishtowels and to dress the loom. My first loom was a beautiful barn frame loom from Burke, VT that Craig has used for many years. I took to wearving easily since I was already interested in the creative process. Weaving applealed to me as a quiet meditative activity with endless possibilities and I like the importance of perfection and balance.<br />
In 2001, I moved to Spain and purchased a 137 cm Eeva loom from Toika in Finland. For years, I have woven mainly baby blankets, rag rugs, sofa blankets and scarves. Future projects are rag rugs for our home and to try to repoduce some early 20th c. Catalan floor tile patterns (Rajola Hidraculica) as textiles.
For me, weaving here in Sitges, a coastal town south of Barcelona, isn't all that different from how I worked in the US. I have woven a lot of things for our home, gifts for friends and I also take commissions and sell now and then through word of mouth or on the internet.<br />
Happily, Norman and Craig have continued to be inspirations and good friends. We keep in regular contact and I visit them and the school whenever I am in the US. I have also enjoyed knowing Kate Smith through the years and being familiar with her beautiful work. I love her blog, which keeps me informed of the activities at the school more then ever before.<br />
Weaving is a skill that continues to fascinate me. Over the years, when people have asked me why I weave, I often reply that at one time in m life I was fortunate to live in a place where there was a weaving school. The weavers were open to sharing their knowledge and I was fortunate to learn from them. I continue to weave because I believe in the importance of preserving traditional ways.. Besides, I love it and it's a wonderful and productive way to spend my time!"

This fall was a busy few months of former students returning to help celebrate our 40th year anniversary. First to arrive was Hilarie Bleavins from North Carolina who had come last year with her mother, Chris Barber, for the first time. Chris accompanied Hilarie again this year but chose not to weave but just work on her book and visit us in the studio. Hilarie wove a very large wool checked throw and a warp of dishtowels in the 5 days that she was here.<br />
<br />
Next of our former students to return were Lem and Jessie Hudson from Delaware as it is always such a delight to have them here. Lem decided to try his hand at rag rugs and specifically wanted to learn the technique of creating arrows in the weft by twining two different color rags. Jessie was keen to continue her love of overshot but to branch out into a new fiber - linen. Both completed beautiful projects and gave them some new skills.<br />
<br />
Our local weavers were back to weave after being away for the summer and Ada's first project was to weave a piece of overshot from the Silas Burton draft book. Heather Pipino was here from Barre, VT after a few year hiatus and she was eager to try a long linen warp for curtains in a huck pattern. Tashni Chamberlin from Adamant, VT was our first work study student for the fall and she has been working on dishtowels and some amazing tapestry rugs. <br />
Stay tuned for the next blog of former student, Bill Griffith and what he's been up to for the past 30 years!<br />

So….meet Kathy Weigold in her own words…<br />
"Weaving is the heartbeat of my soul. It is as important as breathing. Melodramatic? Perhaps…<br />
The production weaving methods learned at MSW in September of 1980 under Norman Kennedy was to have a huge impact on my life. Little did I know then, but my career was born. Imagine, a beginning weaver making two blankets in six weeks! One small blanket started with the raw fleece, then learning to spin it all from scratch…sink or swim…. but once you find that just right combination of foot, hand and eye, it's magic! My inspiration to take that course was the desire to learn how to use the walking wheel my mother inherited from her great grandmother. I then saw an ad for MSW in Handwoven Magazine about using 19th c. looms and walking wheels were pictured. The description was enticing. I was 21 at the time and had just started to learn about weaving on a floor loom. The second blanket was a double width, singles weft spun from roving on the walking wheel. It had to be carefully woven and measured so that pattern matched when sewing the two pieces together. It was also my introduction to end feed shuttles, they really made a difference. I was hooked! I quickly acquired some and still use them to this day, three decades and miles upon miles of fabric later, all on my 18th c. loom and using the old methods learned from Norman and found no where else. There was no slowing down either. No dust settling here. I currently make fabric a reality for Dahlia Popovits (Boston, MA) and Camille Benjamin, (Putnam, CT) both designers of wearables since the mid-eighties. In my spare time I make my own designs and sell at Swiftwaters, a craft cooperative in Willimantic, CT. I haven't run out of color combination yet!<br />
I met Kate, when going back to MSW in 1982, to weave a coverlet as an independent study for a week. Subsequently, in 1985 I went back to make a warp faced carpet. Kate was now much more in the role of teaching and running the school. I was led there on a few more occasions, most recently in 2012 for some linenwork and to wish Norman a happy 80th. Many kudos to Kate for all her hard work and determination to keep alive what Norman started 40 years ago, and to be successful in her own right. And Norman, may you have many more stories to tell and wisdom to impart.<br />

Back from our summer vacation….After being on a break for two months it was good to get back to classes and seeing students again. We started off the month with our annual indigo intensive (see the blog before this one on that), a few new students and a few old regulars. Joan Funk was here from Ohio for the first time as was Claudine Bouchard from south of Quebec city. Claudine wanted help with weaving tartans as she had been working on creating her own designs using a fine two ply worsted. Joan chose the old stand-by - our striped throw - and both did a beautiful job on their respective projects. Bob Clarke, from Ottawa,Ontario was back for his third year and will be with us for a month. He started off with a full sized Scottish Wedding blanket and then moved on to overshot and summer winter. Also that week was Jillian Westfall, from Athens, GA who had come for the indigo intensive and dyed the fabric that she was going to use to weave the Japanese fabric Saki Ori. This is a very time consuming project as the fabric strips are only 1/8" wide but she perservered and wove enough fabric for an apron.
The following we had a new local student come for the first time - Tashni from Adamant - and she will be with us for 6 weeks doing as many projects as she can fit in. Along with Tashni was Alexandra Kohl who wanted to expand her weaving knowledge of some 4 shaft weaves and chose a log cabin design that she wove with grey and white. It was incredibly stunning!
The next week our two new students also came from Ohio - Susan Conover and Mary Beebee - and both of these experienced weavers chose something to give them a challenge. Mary decided to work with a 60/2 silk in a fairly intricate twill pattern and Susan wanted to weave one of the most complicated Silas Burton warp faced carpets in the finer weight. Much to our dismay, the yarn ordered for that was not really suitable for a warp and when every yellow thread in the pattern starting breaking with every shot, we decided to do major surgery and replace it with another yarn. The color choice was actually alot more pleasing and the warp was redeemed. Lesson for us though….don't try out a new yarn on a student! Michael Lobel, our Van Gogh expert frzom NYC was here again to resume his new found weaving passion and delight us with more images of Van Gogh's little known drawings and paintings from his "Weaver's" series. With Michaels permission I would like to do a whole blog sometime on these incredible paintings.
Michael chose to start off the week with a wool throw with striped borders and then finished up the week weaving some cotton towels. Mary was also able to fit in a second project and finished off one of our linen rug warps with a multi-stranded wool weft. And last but not least, Dosia is back! Leaving the city life of Brooklyn behind she has moved back to Marshfield and will be a ….hopefully!…permanent feature at the school. Her first project was a painted silk warp and this coming week she is going to teach a practice class in warp painting to one of her friends to see if this is something that we could offer in the future. Stay tuned!

Justin Squizerro and Zoe Saldana led the first day of setting up the four different vats - Lye/Thiox, Zinc/Lime, Copperas and the old faithful - Urine Vat. The second day Zoe taught resist printing, the third day Jane Quimby was back to teach Shibori and the fourth day was a free day to experiment with all the different surface techniques using all four vat. The students this year came from near and far - Juna Muller from California, Caroline Goddard from RI, Jillian Westfall from GA and Joann Darling from Barre, Vt. The weather ranged from hot and humid to cold and rainy with even a major hailstorm thrown in…but the vats performed remarkably and some great dyeing insued!

Three of them were former alumni from NH - Tricia Jenkins, Mimi Jost and Suzi Beers and the other two were also former alumni - Betty Larsen, from Marshfield and her daughter, Kristina from San Francisco. We hadn't hosted a Krokbrag workshop in a few years so we were excited to teach this again and try out some of our different methods for tieing up 3 Shafts. Needless to say, all the rugs were gorgeous and all our tie up methods worked wonderfully. Our lone summer blanket weaver, Suzi, made a fabulous piece as well, and it was a great week for all!

Our warp painter extraordinaire - Dosia Sanford - was back this month to try another cotton warp for pillows. She is fine tuning the dye mixture consistency so that there is more control in the painting and learning a few other useful skills in laying out the warp, etc. Stay tuned for a class this August that Dosia will be holding for students who want to experiment with this technique. Of our regulars, Sue Carpenter finished another great napkin warp and Susan Osterman tackled a monumental project of a summer blanket/winter sheet on a linen warp. She used a 40/2 linen for the warp and some fine wool from Jagger Spun for the weft. As you can see, her middle seam matched up perfectly! 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.

But that didn't deter the valiant students who came despite the storms outside to weave some amazing projects this month. Starting off was former student Marina Contro who came up to try her hand at dyeing and to work on an idea that she had of creating a large check with four shades of the same color. She and Justin spent a day or two over the dye pots and then three beautiful throws and a large scarf were proof that this idea was a winner.
The next adventure was the return of former student - Ed Burke and his partner, David - who came to weave the Scottish Wedding blanket for their wedding this August. It had been over 30 years since Ed sat at a loom….and David's first time ever…..but with Norman's help they wove off the 6 yards necessary for a full sized blanket.
March was also the month for overshot projects and Lesley, our winter work study student started off with a warp for pillows that then inspired by Stevie and Linda to try their hands at it as well.
And then there was Jane Quimby who is never content to do anything "normal" and she decided to try her hand at ikat dyeing a cotton warp, painting the weft yarns and then weaving it in an M's & O's pattern. The effect was quite stunning and there will be more photos next month and she tries another warp in this technique. Stay tuned….and here's hoping that the snow will be melted by May!<br />

Every loom was full and as you can see below in the photos, lots of beautiful projects were woven. Our most exciting news is that we are now exploring warp painting, thanks to Dosia Sanford's impetus and although we still have alot to learn we are making some headway. Her second project was much more successful then the first and after a brief time away in March, she will come back to pursue more painting on fine wool. Stay tuned. We had three new students join us - Emily Falta from Cabot, Nancy Hart from Tunbridge and Karen Parsons from PA. Along with our monthly regulars we had an old former student - Sue Cain - return after 30 years and another former student - Taylore Grymonnt - came to weave throws. Our new work study student - Lesley Finneran from NYC finished her first month and will be staying on for a second month to complete more of the Dowry Textiles. Quite a busy month!
