January, 13 @ 10:00 a.m.
Sue Balascio
Sue loves textiles. For many years she was a seamstress/dressmaker. And then she wanted to create the fabric as well as sew with it. Since 2013, weaving has added to her passion for working with textiles.
Sue has not only focused on weaving and the fiber arts, she has also worked in jewelry design, painting, stained glass, collage and ceramics. But throughout her career color has tied it all together.
Her emphasis lately has been fine threads and woven wall art with traditional and non traditional materials. She will share her journey as well as an overview of her techniques and process.
Join us on Zoom to hear more from a very talented weaver, artist, and best of all, a fellow member of Harmony Weavers Guild.
Please send photos of your Show & Tell weavings for the January meeting to Sue Balascio before the day of the meeting.

Putting the Pizzazz! into your Stripes
Sally Orgren has been an active member of the weaving community since before I met her in 2004 at Convergence in Denver. My experience is that she is continually trying new techniques and materials to see what happens — and it’s usually a pretty good outcome. I have found her to be energetic and willing to share her tips and knowledge of the craft — even following up to unanswered questions. (Yes, she did that for me.)
Sally will be presenting a talk at our April meeting about stripes – “Putting the Pizzazz! into your Stripes”. This virtual, interactive program will discuss various ways to enliven and energize stripes in your warp patterns by using examples of handwoven samples. Among the topics will be planning and envisioning your stripe patterns (especially if you don’t have access to weaving software) and how-to tips for winding on a multicolored warp.
Participants will be invited to share photos or projects with stripe patterns they find inspiring and the group will analyze how these sequences might be created and if they are more or less successful, attractive, or produce surprising results.
