The Black Sheep Hand Weavers Guild is an HGA-affiliated guild located in the San Francisco Bay area. The purpose of the Blacksheep Handweavers Guild is to promote the exchange of ideas and knowledge in the textile arts, and to encourage efforts and activities in all fields of textiles. Guests are encouraged to make a $5 donation on evenings when we have outside speakers. The membership dues are determined by the guild and cover the period from September - August. Annual membership is still only $25. Members receive a copy of the newsletter, discounted or waived fees for guild-sponsored events and workshops, access to the guild library, discounted registration for CNCH, and a strong sense of community. | |
Weaving rugs has been Barbara's passion for over 20 years. Her rug weaving is loom-controlled, weft-faced using plain or boundweave structure and Barbara uses mostly handspun yarn for weft.
Thanks to Rosemary Brock, Carly Carr, Carolyn Van Cise, Judy Dauberman and Andrea Niehuis who shared items for the last minute exhibt in Redwood City this month. We will be exhibiting at the Burlingame Library in September. It is a wall hanging area so we would like wall hangingis, garments that can be put on hangers, wall sculpture, towels, blankets, table cloths, or anything that can be hung. The items need to be delivered to Andrea Niehuis by Aug 27. If you need me to pick it up let Andrea know. Please tag with your item with your name and phone number. We will also be exhibiting in the Redwood City library in January of 2009.
We welcome two new members, June Socio and Kathleen Marquardt, who both went to Stephenie Gaustad's spinning workshop in April. Sandra Rude has moved and sent her new mailing address and phone number. We hope you can still come to meetings occasionally, Sandra. Current contact information for most members is in the password protected "Members Only" section of the Guild website. If you have membership questions or if your address, phone or email changes, please contact Jean Thompson, 650-324-9344.
Our membership year is Sept 1 - Aug 31, with dues of $25 ($15 for new members joining after Mar 1). This includes the CNCH contribution.

Guild Members are Welcome to Contribute to our Monthly Newsletter
Anyone who would like to provide information, articles, or announcements about weaving, knitting, dyeing, spinning, etc that other guild members would find interesting, is welcome to send them to Debby Maio.
Also any suggestions to enhance or improve our newsletter are also welcome.
Our guild has a policy of not allowing the membership roster to be used for commercial uses. Any unsolicited commercial mailings, including those over the internet, will incur the collective wrath of our membership. As my mother used to say, "Do that, and I'll make your life a misery." rbrock@prosaix.com
This site is hosted by Prosaix because Rosemary made Lynn's life a misery until he agreed to do so. Think of it as a wee bit of community service.
