Weaving Indiana is a weaving guild devoted to learning and sharing knowledge about the art and craft of handweaving. We have monthly meetings, yearly workshops and guild projects to encourage all members to excel in their chosen craft. We welcome anyone to our meetings, especially the ones coming up. Contact us if you would like to join a meeting via Zoom.
April 19, 2025: Round the Blocks - profile drafting with Jennifer Johnson
10 a.m. - noon​

In-person at Hoosier Village, weather permitting.
​ 
Jennifer Johnson will lead a discussion (with handouts!) on profile drafts.  What it is, why it's important, how to 'read' the draft and how to substitute the draft into something you can weave.  Think shorthand, weaver style.  
May 17, 2025: Lace weaves - Huck Lace with Sharon Bowles
10 a.m. - noon​

In-person at Hoosier Village, weather permitting.
​ 
Speaker, Sharon Bowles will discuss the huck lace structure in depth and give us fantastic inspiration on weaving with this structure.  Sharon completed her Masters certificate through the Weaver's Guild of Boston in April 2022. 
*** If weather should make the roads impassable or another reason requires it,  we will post a notice of meeting cancellation on this web site as soon as it is known. ***
