We've dusted off our petticoats, thrown out the white gloves, and are putting together a colorful book of members' weaving to celebrate our upcoming 90th birthday (see also Guild History.)  The focus of the book is on structure, with the pieces woven on rigid heddle to jacquard looms and everything in between.  The level ranges from easy beginner to master, with traditional to modern and refined to exuberant approaches, mirroring the diversity and vibrance of our guild.  Stay tuned for more information!

Participating members are busy producing items, each in a different weave.  Weavers will be submitting information about the weave, as well as photos.  There are openings at various skill levels. Any member wishing to contribute a weave, please contact anniversarybook@weaversguildofboston.org, and you will be forwarded to the proper person.

There are two parts to the information you need to submit:  text and pictures.  You may take your own photos or have the book photographer take them.

Choose your favorite way to submit pictures:

  • electronically as email attachments
  • on a CD mailed or given to a book editor at a guild meeting
  • paper picture(s) - brochure or photo paper, best print quality, not folded
  • the textile itself mailed or given to the book photographer at a guild meeting

Please click to open one of the two instruction/submission form formats below, each of which includes detailed instructions, contact information, and a form section for the written information.
