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.
January 18, 2025: Weaving with Alpaca by Andrea Anderson
10 a.m. - noon Via Zoom only! Grab a warm drink, a cozy (handwoven) blanket and join Weaving Indiana on Zoom in learning all about weaving with alpaca with Andrea Anderson. Watch and learn about tips and tricks of using alpaca - does it full, shrink or dye well? Alpaca fiber is becoming a popular fiber option. This meeting is Zoom only. The zoom link will be emailed to members on Friday before the Saturday meeting (have you renewed your membership for 2025?). 
February 15, 2025: Submitting Your Work to Shows and Publications with Sandi Lemons and Mindy McCain
10 a.m. - noon In-person at Hoosier Village, weather permitting. Sandi Lemons (Tabby Tree Weaver, Fishers) and Mindy McCain will discuss in-depth how to submit articles or works into national magazines, events and competitions. Sandi's "Tuscan Summer Rug" in krokbragd was the Summer 2024 cover of Handwoven magazine. Mindy's "Springtime Runner" won the national awards of First Place and the Complex Weaver's Award in the international juried competition "Complexity" during the 2024 Complex Weaver conference. March 15, 2025: Imperfect Work Show and Tell with everyone!
10 a.m. - noon In-person at Hoosier Village, weather permitting. Our speakers this month are YOU. "The Imperfect Work" is the discussion. Bring a piece that might not have ticked all the boxes and let's learn from one another. This round-robin talk may help you see alternatives for that imperfect work. Scarf not draping well? Maybe it could become fronts for a vest. Too short placemat? Perhaps the fabric for a tote bag. Come with ideas for others and let's share in our mutual love of fibers.

3rd Saturday every month (except December) Time: 10am - noon Location: Keenan Community Center at Hoosier Village. Enter at gatehouse on Zionsville Road, tell the gateman you are going to the community center for a meeting. Park next to the community center. (View Map) |
