Annual Retreat & Potluck
Lunch, Learn & Link-up
Following our regular meeting and "Show & Tell," we will have a panel discussion to hep answer questions about our upcoming show at the Folk Arts Center. Tips on photographing your entry to submit to the jury panel, how to price items that are for sale and answer your questions about the show’s “hanging” requirements. (See document below).
After we enjoy our potluck luncheon, we will have time to sit and spend time doing fun fiber things. We will have an area for spinning, knitting/crochet/stitching, and an area for weaving (pin looms, Inkle looms, tapestry, table, even small floor looms; anything you can weave on and carry in). This is a great time to share what you are doing, ask for advise/help, share stories, and generally get to know each other better.
We hope you will join us!

She makes an assortment of felted critters and paints with wool, (pictures to frame). Claudia has been sharing her love of wool with other fiber lovers for the past 6 years. She especially loves to teach beginner needle felting. In her class you will leave with a finished creation and a new addiction!
Wild Mountain Time - Native Dye Plants
Dede Styles
Dede will take us through common native plants that contain dye, when to gather them and how to use them.
About Dede Styles: Put together being raised by a mother who taught me all about native plants, a pet sheep for fiber and a grandmother who was a weaver in the Southern Highlands Craft Guild, and you come up with someone who had to give natural dye a try. After the first dye bath of Queen Anne's Lace I was hooked.
