Program: Nancy Gossell—Repurposing Heirloom Textiles
In 2022 Nancy Gossell spent three weeks weaving at the Tingsryd Vävstugan located in
Småland, Sweden. She returned in 2023 to weave for four weeks. In her time at the Vävstugan
she noted the many end-uses of the woven textiles being created. Besides rugs, upholstery and
towels, weavers create stunning decorative pillows, satchels, totes, and stuffed animals! Nancy
will speak to her experience of returning to Tingsryd in January 2024. She arrived in Sweden
with 100-year-old family hand woven linen to create decorative, everyday use items for the
descendants back in the United States.
Nancy is a native Minnesotan who learned to weave at the Minnesota Weavers Guild, where she
is an active member. She has multiple ties to her Scandinavian family, language, and many trips.
Her interest in learning to weave was sparked by Swedish relatives and their vävstugar
(community weaving places).
