October 10, 2020 Program Weaving on Gourds

Sandra Jordan will teach us how to weave a weft-faced structure on a gourd as shown in picture of the red gourd. She will bring the gourds all prepared for weaving and finished with a deep mahogany color. (see picture of dream catcher gourd- the mahogany color will give you more latitude in selecting colors of your choice.)

Place: The class will be held in the yard at Judy's house at in Starke, FL. Social distancing and a mask will be required. Please bring a chair and a small table if you have one. The class is limited to the first twenty five members to register and the cost will be $10.00. Please call or email Judy Jull at 443-786-0021 or jsjull @ yahoo.com to register.

NOTE: even if you registered for the class that was cancelled last April, Please register again. Materials needed for the class: Tapestry needle for warping gourd, Weaving needle, Small scissors, Warp thread – thin and sturdy – like 20/2 linen or 8/2 cotton (Remember that it is weft faced, so color is not critical.), Weft threads – your choice of colors and fibers, but heavier fibers will probably be better 5/2 or 3/2 cotton or even wools.
