May Guild Meeting
Tuesday, May 4, 2010
Unitarian Church of Santa Fe
9:30 am - Social
10:00 am - Meeting
Joan Babcock learned macrame as a teenager in the 1960's. When she moved to Santa Fe in 1986, she rediscovered knotting in the form of knotted jewelry. She often uses the Cavandoli technique, a condensed form of knotting similar to weaving, in which a square inch can contain 250 knots or more. In addition to one-of-a-kind necklaces, Joan creates earrings, medicine bags, vessels, and decorative items, some of which incorporate pendants of silver, copper, and brass as well as a variety of beads in stone, metal, and glass. She gets her inspiration from tribal cultures, Asian art, and natural forms.
Joan's work can be found at Handwoven Originals and the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Shop in Santa Fe, at Artemesia in Taos, and at Tamiko's Hamilton Montana. She has an Etsy page at http://www.etsy.com/shop/joanbabcockdesigns.
Joan teaches micro-macrame workshops and has published two instructional works: Micro-Macrame Jewelry (2005) and Micro-macrame and Cavandoli Knotting (DVD, 2007). Both are available from the author. For information, inspiration and additional information, visit her website:
http://joanbabcock.com/, Join us on Tuesday, May 4, to view Joan Babcock's work and be inspired by her adventures in knotting.
PS: Joan will teach at Convergence, SS701 Fundamentals of Micro-macrame and UB105, Cavandoli Tapestry Knotting

Nancy Judd
A Toyota convertible soft-top jacket with electric wire “fur”, aluminum flowers and leaves from Coke cans sewn to a cocktail dress, garments made from phone book paper, cassette tapes, rusty nails, junk mail, and even crushed glass --- all by artist, Nancy Judd, to provide conservation education. Nancy went from recycling educator for the City of Santa Fe to the creation of her own company, Recycle Runway. Her “couture” creations have been exhibited in airports throughout the US and she has been commissioned by corporations such as Toyota and Coca-Cola. She created three garments from Obama campaign materials that were exhibited at the Green Inaugural Ball and other inaugural events, and the “Obamanos Coat” was selected for display in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC.

March Meeting
Please remember that the March meeting is Saturday the 13th, after Susan Wilson's workshop, not on a Tuesday, and not on the first Saturday, either.
And I am so sorry I won't be there for either the workshop or the meeting, My husband picks our ski trips out long before we schedule our workshops, unfortunately. And the ski club we belong to is going to Snow Mass that week, so that's where we will be. I hope they have as much snow as my friends in MD and DC who are beginning to complain about their riches.
In case I didn't describe very well where Santa Fe Fabrics is, it is across from Trader Joe's and closer to the church where we meet than Trader Joe's is. It in the same bunch of stores as CVS, but at the west most end. Can you tell that right now I can't think of the name of any of those streets to save my soul?-Su

"Weave It Polychrome!"
Susan Wilson
Polychrome means “many colors.” If a textile has many colors, is it always polychrome? And how is a weave structure “woven polychrome”? In this slide-lecture, you’ll learn the answer to these questions and how to use this exciting technique to add complexity and richness to familiar four- to eight-shaft weaves such as twill, overshot, summer and winter, crackle, and laces.
Susan Wilson received the HGA Certificate of Excellence in Handweaving, Master Level, in 1990, with a specialty in crackle weave. Her work has been published in Weaver's, Handwoven, Complex Weavers Journal, and Shuttle Spindle & Dyepot magazines, and her crackle sample was featured on the cover of A Weaver's Book of 8-Shaft Patterns edited by Carol Strickler. She has lectured and taught workshops throughout the U.S. and at several Convergences and regional conferences. A weaver for 40 years, Susan enjoys pattern weaving, sampling to explore woven structure, and creating household textiles and clothing accessories.
