The Exploring Structures and Techniques Study Group (formerly known as the HGA COE Study Group) has decided to change the way we operate. Starting in January 2026, rather than weaving samples chosen from the now unavailable COE booklet, we are going to choose a structure or group of structures to investigate more thoroughly over 4-6 months. We have chosen Tied Weaves for our first focus ( think Summer & Winter, Double Two Tie, or even Quigley) If you have ever asked “What are tied weaves and why should I weave them?”, come join us for the fun!
