New England Weavers' Seminar: Shows and Exhibits
Gallery Show & Fashion Show
The Gallery and Fashion Shows are juried exhibits in which weavers of member guilds show their work; entrants do not have to attend NEWS to participate. Weavers may enter three pieces in each show. All work must be at least 75% handwoven and completed since NEWS 2019. All pieces are judged, and ribbons, prizes, and points toward Weaver of Distinction are awarded. Each entry receives constructive comments from the judges. A People's Choice Award is given, so be sure to cast your ballot.

A Legacy of Weavers
Weavers have always inspired each other, and early in our weaving lives we have been taught, encouraged, or mentored by a special teacher who encouraged us to become the weavers we are today. This exhibit showcases one honoree from each of our 11 Guilds who inspired us and exemplifies our rich weaving heritage. Biographies, photographs and woven items remind us of their influences. Also learn more about the history of NEWS, an organization that has done so much to educate, encourage and honor our weaving.

Each of the eleven member guilds of NEWS as well as other weaving collaboratives will display their members' creations. The subjects are often the result of projects or study groups from the past two years.
The Nashoba Valley Weavers' Guild invites all NEWS member guilds to display their members' work in the Table Show at NEWS 2023. Each guild will have one table for display. Space permitting, interested groups who are not members of NEWS may participate for a fee of $25.00. Please encourage your members to participate!
