Reed & Weave January 2018 Edition
President’s Message….
Happy New Year to you all! I hope you all had a happy Holiday Season with family and
friends. And that the Season inspired your creativity, of course.
Well, I anticipated my last letter by one. Lynda Yoho, our incoming President was quite thankful
that I volunteered to do the January President’s letter, since she will be installed in January and is
technically not President yet! Thank you, Lynda, for your service to the guild as Secretary and
soon to be President. You will do a great job! And thanks again to all our officers and chairs for
serving.
The auction and Pot Luck were a lot of fun in December. As usual, the food was delicious—good
work all! And the auction was a variation on a theme, and good to try out. Thanks for organizing it
Janet and Sallie. Members donated some lovely items. I know I’m enjoying the items I bid on and
won!
In January, you have a real treat coming up. Make sure you come out for Sarah Jackson’s color
workshop. It will be a wonderful experience for all weavers and fiber enthusiasts.
I will repeat what I said last month, as it is true! This will be my last newsletter, so I will say that it
has been a privilege to serve the guild as your president. You have been a wonderful group to
lead—so creative and positive. I could not have asked for a more energetic and talented group of
weaving, spinning and fiber artists.
So I will say one more time: keep weaving; spinning; dyeing and creating!

SARA JACKSON
A THREE HOUR MINI-WORKSHOP/PIZZA LUNCH JANUARY 8, 2018
Color is one of the most exciting components of weaving, and… learning to use colors confidently can be challenging. Mixing yarn colors doesn't work like mix-ing colors with paint, and even experienced professionals with in-depth color knowledge are often surprised by color effects in woven cloth. The goal of this
workshop is to help participants understand how to explore the numerous pos-sibilities for successfully translating color into woven cloth.
Sarah Jackson earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts, concentration in textile design, from the University of Kansas. She is a frequent contributor to Handwoven
magazine, joined the editorial team in 2012 as a technical editor and worked as the weaving editor for Handwoven from 2014-2017.
PLEASE BRING:
Note-taking supplies, scissors, scotch tape and one or more photos with colors you want to explore!
