April 1959 Portfolio Edition of Shuttle Craft, the monthly bulletin of the Shuttle Craft Guild (Bedford, Nova Scotia). The issue centers on weaving with plant materials. Rita Bretscher describes using grasses, cattails and Indian grass as warp and weft, with warp planning, sleying, tied continuous wefts and drafts for screens and place mats. Other items: a spot-weave (warp pattern) wall hanging woven with pine needles by Lenora Broadhead Pratt; Mary E. Black on cere-cloths and other altar cloths and on a group project of kneeling-bench covers; church colors; a book review column by Boris Veren; and advertisements. It also has a Loom Language section and a note on the portfolio samples.
