Bozeman Weavers Guild

Come join in the discovery of three unique methods of color blending developed by Bonnie over the past four decades as demonstrated in a spectacular array of examples. Students will use Color Horoscope Weaving as their primary focus, which means they will arrive at the workshop with their loom warped and ready to weave with a personal Color Horoscope.

Be advised that this workshop begins at home at least one month (hopefully two) before the conference with one on one email instruction for setting up an individual unique warp. During the workshop, students get a taste of Woven Words and Almost Ikat providing inspiration and ideas that will last for years.

Advanced Beginner:  Student must either be able to warp their loom at home or have someone help them.

• Portable warped loom (capable of weaving 16” with 400 heddles) plain weave.
• weft
• shuttles (and whatever weaving tools you require)
• both cloth and paper scissors
• ruler
• pencil with good eraser.
• 4 hanks of cotton embroidery floss

Additional Student Requirement:

Each Color Horoscope student must contact Bonnie upon enrollment (bonnie@bonnietarses.com)  and supply her with an accurate

1.      Birth Date  (month, day, year)

2.      Time of Day (hour and minute)

3.      Place (city/town, state/province, and country)

Bonnie will then create a personal winding draft based on this information.  In addition, she will send instructions on how to select yarn and how to interpret the draft and wind the warp.
