Photo by Josh Rhinehart<\/p><\/div>\n<p>By Emma Castleberry<\/p>\n<p>Ten handmade blankets, woven by students in the Professional Crafts Fiber Program at Haywood Community College (HCC) during the fall 2024 semester, were auctioned in January to raise money for BeLoved Asheville and the Craft Emergency Relief Fund.<\/p>\n<p>Amy Putansu, professional crafts fiber instructor at HCC, organized the initiative in the days following Hurricane Helene. \u201cLike many people,\u201d she says, \u201cI was overcome by a sense of urgency to be of use to those who suffered great losses. I also needed to change the syllabus for my weaving students because our college was closed for more than two weeks. As a weaving studio, how could we contribute our special skills to the relief effort while also serving college course learning objectives?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The project was made possible in part by the donation of 129 pounds of Merino wool from an eastern mill that had recently closed. A collaboration with WARP (Weave a Real Peace) also provided an opportunity for the blankets to be auctioned to a broader audience.<\/p>\n<p>The students chose from historical overshot patterns, often identified with Appalachian weaving, and converted the patterns into double weave for the blankets. \u201cThe overshot-patterned double weave is a great structure for blankets as it makes a stable cloth and is double thickness,\u201d says Putansu. \u201cThe patterning draws from traditional overshot designs, many of which have deep roots in Appalachia, as they were used in bed coverings when hand weaving at home was still prevalent in this region as recently as the early 19th century.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alinahh Ever, an artist and HCC fiber student, was drawn to an old heritage design for her blanket, the Mary Ann Ostrander Pattern. \u201cIt was named after a woman and I like that,\u201d says Ever. \u201cIt\u2019s a beautiful design that has a lot of circular, organic feel to it, like flowers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Participating in this project held deep personal significance for Ever, especially following the storm. \u201cThe setup for these blankets was a challenge and stretch for me as a beginner student in floor loom weaving and dealing with mild collective\/personal trauma post-Hurricane,\u201d she says. \u201cBut when I began to weave, the piece came together and it felt really good. And I\u2019m really pleased with the result. I\u2019m so happy to know that we raised over $4,000 to benefit people hard hit by the Hurricane, including craft artists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alyssa Sacora, another fiber student at HCC, wove a blanket in the Double Irish Chain pattern that was won in the auction by her aunt and uncle, who are also craftspeople. \u201cI was surprised to discover that putting energy into the learning and making of this blanket kept me present and gave me something to help me stay grounded,\u201d says Sacora. \u201cI\u2019m eager to make another one for two reasons: to more deeply understand the processes that we went through to create them and to have one to snuggle under on these cold winter nights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>For more information about Haywood Community College, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/Haywood.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Haywood.edu<\/a> or contact at <a href=\"ma&#105;&#x6c;&#x74;o:h&#99;&#x63;&#x2d;adv&#105;&#x73;&#x69;ng&#64;&#x68;&#x61;&#x79;wo&#111;&#x64;&#x2e;&#x65;du\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">h&#x63;c&#45;&#x61;d&#118;&#x69;s&#x69;&#x6e;g&#x40;h&#97;&#x79;w&#111;&#x6f;d&#x2e;&#x65;d&#x75;<\/a> or 828.627.2821.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ten handmade blankets, woven by students in the Professional Crafts Fiber Program at Haywood Community College (HCC) during the fall 2024 semester, were auctioned in January to raise money for BeLoved Asheville and the Craft Emergency Relief Fund.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":78758,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47,69,114],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-78756","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arts","category-craft-arts","category-education"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
