    Fiber Day at the Folk Art Center

    Volunteer here for hands on activities

    Activities will include

    • Twisted string bracelets
    • Weaving on sticks
    • Pocket loom weaving

    We need volunteers in each of the 2 hour shifts.

    There is no limit to the number of volunteers, but we need at least 3 per shift.

    There are many other activities going on, so if you are not needed, there will be other fiber related things to explore.

    Donations for the WNCFHG booth at the Anything Fiber sale may be received anytime from July 1-July 22.

    If you are not able to hold onto your donations until then, please donate them to another local charity like Local Cloth to help artists who suffered losses to Helene. 

    The Anything Fiber Sale is a yard sale for fiber people. We all have piles of unloved fabric, "bought it because it was pretty" yarns, obscure tools that we forgot we had, looms that need a new home, duplicates of knitting needles, fleece that doesn't seem to get spun, right? 

    So, really clean out that closet of your surplus yarns, spinning fibers, materials and tools, and donate them to the Guild! No finished goods unless they are appropriate to use in other fiber techniques (i.e., hand-spun yarns, dyed yardage). No rotted or smelly fibers, please!

    Bring donations to the July meeting. Or you can leave your donation in the designated boxes on the large covered porch at 103 Campbell Drive, Flat Rock, NC 28-731, or contact Cheryl Motheral-Lynn (phone 919-600-1531). Andrea Croskery (828-565-1396) in Haywood County, will also accept donations.

    Pick up can also be arranged depending on the location. 


    Location: AB Tech's spacious Conference Center
