Welcome to an extra special edition of Beginning Weaving!  I'm teaming up with Yvonne Perez of Make & Mary to bring you this cannabis infused workshop that approaches weaving as a creative meditation.  Weaving is known as one of the world's oldest crafts, a slow and methodical art that helps us integrate the mind, body and spirit to achieve a genuine practice of meditation and self expression.  And it's really fun! 

In this 3 hour class you'll learn all the basics of weaving on a frame loom and have the option to sample some of Oregon's finest CBD/THC wares in a beautiful and relaxed environment.  Registration includes guided weaving instruction, cannabis treats, light refreshment and a complete weaving kit, (loom, weaving tools, yarn and illustrated how-to booklet), for you to keep.  You can also BYOW to this event!

Natalie Novak is a visual artist in Portland, OR. Working primarily in tapestry, Novak draws from ancient and contemporary weaving techniques to explore color relationships, modern mysticism and the (super) natural world. Currently Novak maintains a dedicated practice at her home studio and teaches this meditative craft to students in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

Samuel Bautista Lazo and family are a traditional Benizaa (Zapotec) family of weavers. Their woven products are hand dyed and woven from 'criollo' native wool, carrying out the traditions of their ancestors.

What happens when all the weavers in Portland area (or at least a handful of us) meet up in real life to weave together, share yarn and swap stories?  Come to Weaving Club to find out! 

If you haven't touched your loom in a little while, this might the the motivation you need to pick up your yarn.  Maybe you weave all the time and just want to do it in the company of others with string on the brain.  Either way, you're invited to join the Portland Weaving Club! 

Bring yourself, your favorite weaving friends, pack up your loom and maybe a snack or drink to share if you want to.  Everyone is welcome at this free event, please RSVP to natalie@combedthunder.com.

This month we're hoping to weave outside in one of the city's many beautiful parks.  Because the PNW weather is so unpredictable we might not know until the day of whether we'll be inside or out.  Make sure to RSVP so you know where to find us!
