    Marilyn Robert will be the featured guest instructor for the 2023 Hawaiʻi Handweavers’ Hui annual workshop on Ikat Weaving. 

    The workshops will focus on ikat (kasuri in Japanese) weaving using traditional Japanese motifs. Ikat is a woven resist technique where threads are bound according to a pattern. The threads are then dyed leaving undyed areas where there are resist ties. Ikat is classified as warp ikat, weft ikat, and double ikat, compound or complex ikat, depending on which set(s) of threads are bound. The pattern appears as it is woven. The primary, traditional dye used for kasuri is indigo which will be used in this workshop. 

    Students will be instructed on the dyeing and weaving of ikat. The first two days will be devoted to understanding the patterns, binding the warp threads, and dyeing them. In addition, students will prepare the weft ikat threads and dye them. On the last two days, participants will dress their looms using raddles and general weaving tools and then weave. Floor or table looms will be required with a minimum of two shafts (no rigid heddle looms) and a 12 dent reed.


    MORE INFORMATION

    This dyeing and weaving workshop is open to the public. Participants must be able to set up a loom and understand the basics of plain weave. 

    Hawaiʻi Handweavers’ Hui members receive a discounted class fee. Those who wish to become members may click HERE to join before registering for the workshop.

    Upon registering for the workshop a detailed supply list will be emailed to the participant. All dyes, warp and weft threads for this workshop will be provided by the instructor; there is a $65 supply fee payable to the instructor at the workshop.

     SURROUNDED by WATER - Register online July 1 - 26 

    PROSPECTUS click to read before registering


    Hawaiʻi Handweavers’ Hui is excited to partner with The Glass Fusion Collective in the joint exhibition SURROUNDED by WATER. 

    We live surrounded by water. How does this affect individuals and communities in our islands, on other islands, or even the world at large? How does water inspire us?


    Juror Stacie Robinson

    Stacie Robinson is a Research Ecologist with NOAA’s Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program focusing on wildlife ecology, disease, foraging, and genetics. She is also a ceramicist.


    Juror's Statement

    I dwell in a unique space at the intersection of art and science. A love of nature and the marine environment is the core that unites these seemingly disparate foci. In my professional life I work for NOAA in an effort to conserve endangered marine species. My work in marine conservation has taken me throughout the Hawaiian Archipelago where I have been able to see both the beauty and human impacts on the ocean and island environments. As an artist, I translate this appreciation for unique Hawaiian marine life into ceramic art. I am greatly inspired by a sense of place and connection with nature. Living on the Hawaiian island of O’ahu, I find endless opportunities for inspiration from the lush tropical landscapes, vibrant seascapes full of odd marine creatures, and the east-meets-west culture in the islands. I use my art as a way to draw in the eye and open the mind to the wonders of and threats to the natural world.

    Our August 2023 Hui meeting will be show and tell of our Grab Bag Challenge. Please register, get your goodies, and have fun crafting something unique. The challenge is to take a random bag of yarns that is provided by the Hui and use some of each of them to make something in any technique of your choosing.

    Bags will be available at the Hui Studio, at the spinners group, at our April tapestry tour, and at the Oʻahu June luncheon. They can be mailed to non-Oʻahu members. (We will make arrangements to have you share from a distance!)

    You will get 1 bag with a miscellaneous assortment of yarn. Your challenge is to create something using at least some of each yarn in your bag. You may augment with yarn, fiber, found items, etc.

    You should include a sample of each yarn used along with your finished item so we can see what you had to work with. You can tape to paper, knot through holes on an index card, put on a key ring, or tie as a bundle.

    Free Registration online is required to participate in the Grab Bag Challenge.
