Programs

Programs, Presentations, and Meetings:
During part of the year, we hold special meetings focusing on a particular aspect of weaving and/or fiber arts. These meetings are led by invited expert guests or knowledgeable fiber artists from within our own ranks. These programs run September through April with a few exceptions noted in the calendar listing. We also have guild gatherings during the busy holiday months and the summer where we kick back to enjoy good food and company. If you share (or think you might share) an interest in weaving and fiber arts, please feel free to drop in and introduce yourself. We’d love to meet you.

  ($10 for members – $20 for non members. Registration required

Did you ever wonder what those numbers inside a cone of yarn mean? 10/2,2/18,8/4, use it over unmercerized?  What’s the difference between rayon, bamboo,  tencel, and modal buy?  What if you got a great deal on yarn but you have no idea what it is?  Take the anxiety out of buying yarn and planning a project.

    Japanese Bookbinding – with Peggy DiNegro
  Japanese books differ from ours in that the binding holding the pages together is on the outside and becomes an artistic element in itself.
  You begin by designing your stitching pattern.  Fun!  Easy!  I’ll guide you through it.  You will then select a cover to go with your pages, punch appropriate sewing holes and stitch your booklet together using 6 strand floss.  There will be some choice of colors for cover and threads.
  Workshop fee $10.00.
  RSVP would be lovely but you can come regardless.
