Dr. William G. Bateman left a legacy of manuscripts he wrote while exploring new weave structures/systems in his retirement years. After his death, his daughter recognized the importance of his work. Virginia Harvey took on the task of publishing his work which resulted in six monographs published in the 1980's by the Shuttle Craft Guild. This work remains largely unknown or unexplored in the weaving world, and CW has heretofore not had a study group devoted to the Bateman Weaves. Linda Davis and Wanda Shelp are forming a Bateman Weaves Study Group and will be co-leaders. The group will begin the first of the year with Monograph Thirty Eight, Boulevard, Chevron and Combination Weaves, and progress through all six monographs over the next six years. . Linda Davis and Wanda Shelp formed a Bateman Weaves Study Group in 2010 as co-leaders, starting with Park weaves. The group will begin 2011 with Monograph Thirty Eight, Boulevard, Chevron and Combination Weaves, and progress to complete all six monographs over the next five years. The group will terminate upon completion.

The study group will be limited to 20 members. The study group year will begin on January 1, 2012; dues should be paid by Dec. 30, 2011. A Yahoo group will be formed for discussion and exchange of information. A woven sample and record will be due on October 31, 2012 and all members will receive samples from the exchange. .
