Westminster Presbyterian Church, Santa Fe
Lisa Trujillo
Award-winning tapestry artist, weaving in the Chimayo/Rio Grande tradition, will discuss her work
One week after graduating from the University of New Mexico with a degree in marketing, Lisa Rockwood married Irvin Trujillo and started her weaving career. Although Lisa had always been artistically inclined, she had never woven before meeting Irvin. She proved an apt pupil. She started by weaving small pieces and early on began challenging herself with more and more complex designs. She began dying yarn with natural dyes when she started weaving, and started spinning a couple of years later. As she continued to weave more complex pieces she would try weaving finer and larger pieces in the Saltillo style, using her own handspun and natural dyed yarns. Each of these projects took about a year to complete. Her other weavings allow her to pursue other ideas, and to work in other traditional styles.
Lisa's designs are generally within the guidelines of traditional Rio Grande weaving. While she has great respect for the Rio Grande Spanish tradition, she was not born into the culture and tradition. Therefore, she brings her own non-Hispanic background to her weaving. Since it is impossible to keep from expressing herself in her weaving, the results keep changing as time passes.
Lisa and Irv own and operate Centinela Traditional Arts in Chimayo, New Mexico. They both are award-winning artists whose work has been shown in, and collected by, museums across the United States, including the Smithsonian. If you haven't visited their studio you should go sometime. It's a lovely drive to Chimayo and Centinela Traditional Arts is an interesting place.

Dear Susan,
We invite all weavers, spinners, dyers, and basketmakers around the world to
join
together in celebration of our common heritage during Spinning & Weaving
Week.
Each year, during the first week in October, we celebrate the traditions and
the
future of our fiber arts and crafts. Join us as we demonstrate handweaving
and
handspinning, exhibit works of fiber techniques, and teach our children
about their
fiber heritage.
HGA will kick off Spinning & Weaving Week at the Original Sewing and Quilt
Expo

bring your IWC projects
It occurred to me that rather than present a report on IWC, our members would much rather see samples from the classes people took. So, if it is not too much to ask, could the people who attended IWC bring things they made in class, or things done later as a result of class? I am willing to bring my failed samples…and hopefully Helen will bring the samples which worked from Barbara Herbster’s class.-Su

It's been awhile, but I just spent an inspirational weekend at IWC, the InterMountain Weaver's Conference in Durango. Besides that the college is way up high, and the dorm overlooks the city, and looks across at the mountains it is just plain beautiful there. There were 170 attendees, and the class offerings were wonderful
Yoshiko Wada, whose class Nancy Ullman took, gave a very interesting talk on the trends in Japanese textiles, along with a fashion show on Friday night. Jason Collingwood was teaching a rug weaving class which at least one member of our guild took, Nadine Sanders was teaching Theo Moorman, and I think Alene took that, Helen Finney and I were in Barbara Herbster's differential shrinkage class, with a bunch of fun people, I saw Melodie and met her friend from Abiqui but I don't know what class they took. Evelyn and Joni might have been taking Rebecca's color blending class and Ann was either in Judy Dominic's mudcloth dying class, or the other manipulating fabric class. I looked in on Sharon Alderman's class and everyone was weaving clear crisp stripes right up to the end of Sunday.
The only disappointment was the food...and my car battery! But everyone should think seriously about attending the summer after next. If I can just figure out how, I will post pictures of my samples.-Su

Scarf Exchange update
The first guild scarf exchange will be held at the May meeting.
Previously the finished dimensions were defined as 6" wide by 60"
long. That has been revised to allow narrower scarves to qualify for the
exchange.
Look for some pictures on the website after the meeting.

March 1 Guild Meeting
Leigh Alexander is our speaker for March, she moved to this area from South Carolina where she had a weaving studio in Charleston SC (1997- 2006). In this studio she made rugs, drapes and upholstery fabrics to order . Since coming here she has been selling weekly at the farmers’ market, which allows her to make one of a kind items. Her garments have been described as unique, having a retro feel, but up-to date, and "earthy". She herself says "all the clothing has been designed to fit a range of body shapes and sizes and I’ve figured out various oddball ways to do that. I’ve used a wide variety of materials from copper wire to plastic gimp to the usual wools, cottons, linens. I’ve also explored a wide variety of weaves".
She willl be showing slides of the various projects she’s been involved in in the past 10 years. And she adds "Most of my older rugs are summer & winter, drapes are various laces and most recently I’ve been exploring double weaves. I’ll bring a pile of fabric samples, too for you to feel and analyze. Most of what I do is 8-10 harness but I’ll bring a good selection of 4 harness weaves to maybe pique your imagination. I’ve also been working on Lisa and Irv Trujillos’ AVL and have just set up a 20 harness dobby at EVFAC."

February Guild Meeting - Polly Barton
Loosening the Knot: Contemporary Ikat
Tuesday, February 8, 2011
Unitarian Church, West Barcelona and Galisteo, Santa Fe
9:30 AM - Social hour
10:00 AM - Meeting
We are extremely lucky to have Santa Fe artist Polly Barton as our February speaker. Polly has been weaving for 30 years, and is internationally known for her woven silk ikat paintings. During her 30 years of weaving silk ikat on Japanese kimono looms, Polly Barton has brought a modern, painterly approach to this ancient dyeing technique. Her lecture will illustrate how she has developed and adapted this tradition and how the ikat tradition has in turn pushed her to grow as an artist.
Polly Barton majored in Art History at Barnard. In 1981 she spent a year in Kameoka, Japan studying with master weaver, Tomohiko Inoue and learning to use the Japanese tsumugi silk kimono loom. Her website is pollybarton.com
