Artist Project Grant Free form Weaving for Senior Citizens
Narrative
My name is Dawn Hummer and I am applying for an Artist Project Grant for the first
time this year (2017-2018). My proposal for the Project Grant called "Free Form
Weaving for Senior Citizens" would allow me to more broadly reach out to the
Senior community with Orange County, in an ongoing attempt to facilitate
community and joyful creative expression through weaving
The funding of the project would accommodate a purchase of 8 smaller more
portable looms and additional fiber to transport to the Seymour Center Senior
facility once per month, as the Senior Service Center of Orange County
(organizational partner) has asked me to extend throughout the year, my classes in
weaving. The smaller looms would allow for larger class sizes and continued
programming in weaving, as the 4 heavy floor looms are becoming more difficult to
collapse and safely transport each month. The creative weaving classes have
become larger and are now ongoing over the winter and spring months, occurring
once per month.
With the addition of 8 new smaller looms, we could plan for a rich variety of ongoing
classes to meet the needs of the growing interest in weaving, within the large
weaving community here in Orange County. The classes then could serve up to 8
participants at a time, and foster camaraderie, care and creativity within the group.
As a hand weaver with a small home teaching studio, I am committed to facilitating
the joy of creative expression through the art of weaving,within the local
community. While my home studio does not allow full access to the broader
community, traveling and teaching fiber arts remotely allows me to combine my
love of weaving with my background in teaching children and adults with
disabilities. Some of my recent presentations and volunteer weaving classes within
the Triangle area have included: Triangle Weaving Guild, Sandhills Weaving Guild,
Orange County Senior Services (Memory Café and Sr. Citizens arts classes), Saori
weaving classes.
Recently awarded the designation of Saori Weaving Studio (from Saorinomori in
Osaka, Japan), I strive to connect persons without regard to physical or mental
ability with an ergonomic and joyful creative experience in free form weaving.
The Saori style of weaving celebrates the unique and individual creative spark
within each of us as we enjoy texture, color and the process of hand weaving on
floor and table looms. Each loom is threaded with an assortment of colorful fibers,
which then becomes the canvas for individual creative designs to be woven onto the
loom. Simple rigid heddle looms are ergonomic and easy to manipulate on the lap
or clamped to the tabletop. Individual projects can be taken home after one class or
continued on to the next class if desired. Modifications in both instruction and
physicality of weaving can be made as needed. The process is enjoyable and
DocuSign Envelope ID:70E97245-CBDE-4A68-90A8-9FB875F7C092
rewarding as we learn from one another in the group as well as derive joy and pride
in weaving an individual textile to wear or compliment our home living areas.
Please refer to the revised attached project budget, as I am requesting funds with
which to purchase equipment and additional fiber for ongoing community classes.
The $3000.00 would cover the purchase 8 small Cricket Looms for transport, fiber
for 12 monthly classes, and my preparation of time in warping each loom as well as
teaching each of the 12 monthly classes,which would be free to the public.
Also attached are a few documents showing support for community weaving as well
as the current larger loom weaving classes ongoing at the Seymour Center.
Please feel free to contact The Triangle Weaving Guild and/or The Seymour Center
for further support of my work in the community.
Thank you so much for this opportunity, as I look forward to hearing from you.
Respectfully,
Dawn Hummer

Dear Committee,
I am writing to show my support for Dawn Hummer and her proposed project. I believe that Dawn's
project will Bneat|y benefit the Orange County community. I am a social worker with Orange County
Department on Aging and host our memory cafes.Our goal is to provide enriching opportunities for
community members living with dementia and their loved ones. Dawn hosted a Saori Weaving
workshop for our participants in March and it was our best attended café to date.
Dawn was absolutely amazing in her ability to connect with all participants (those living with dementia
and family members). Dawn is a patient and engaging instructor and our participants were enthusiastic
to experience weaving at the looms. Dawn's guidance and facilitation encouraged participation, even
from some of our more hesitant attendees. By the end of the workshop folks did not want to leave.They
were gushing about how marvelous their experience was and how much fun they had. We received
feedback from participants and long-time volunteers that this workshop was a hit. Family members
shared how much it meant to do something so accessible for both themselves and their loved one. They
also shared how much they appreciated Dawn's instruction and that she set a tone that allowed all
participants to be comfortable.
I hope the committee considers full funding of Dawn's proposal. I know there is much interest in Dawn's
return to the memory café. I am also aware of how popular Dawn's weaving program has been at the
senior center and that many folks will benefit from the opportunity to learn from such a patient and
dynamic instructor.
With utmost support,

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing in support of Dawn Hummer's proposal to the Artists' Project Grant Program. I have
known Dawn only a short time through the Triangle Weavers Guild but I have been very impressed by
both her weaving skills and her interest in sharing her knowledge with the greater community.
I had met with Kim Lamon-Loperfido about the Guild conducting a class at the Seymour Center. I knew
that Dawn would be the best person to carry this through. Her interest in Saori weaving (a fairly
freeform type of weaving that can accommodate physical and developmental differences)would be
perfect for this class. And so it was.
We also had Dawn present a program about Saori weaving at our monthly meeting. It was a fascinating
presentation and particularly appealed to those looking for a less physically demanding yet creatively
satisfying method of weaving. Iwas impressed by the number of looms and displays that Dawn brought
—but it all added to the success of her presentation. She never hesitated to share her equipment
despite the labor of getting it to the Seymour Center.
Dawn's request for funding for smaller, more easily transportable looms would be a benefit for years to
come. The same effort it takes to transport larger looms can easily be used to carry additional, smaller
looms. In turn, more people would be able to take advantage of Dawn's excellent teaching ability.
On a personal note, my 91 year old friend is quite interested in my weaving, a craft she learned 75 years
ago. Our discussions of what I'm doing, and my periodic show and tell, have provided many hours of fun
conversation and a special bonding experience.
I fully support Dawn's efforts to bring this joy and satisfaction to many more at the Seymour Center. If
you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
