NEW ! Saturday Craft Matinees: 1 p.m. I've got all these great videos on felting, spinning, weaving, and knitting techniques and thought that many of you might enjoy viewing them. So during the spring when I don't offer many classes, I thought I'd dedicate a Saturday afternoon each month to showing the videos! So pack up a portable project you're working on, grab a friend and come to the store for an afternoon of comraderie with other customers and learn something new. There is no charge for this. Refreshments served. Saturday April 26th
Saturday May 24th Attention weavers!! Tho' any fiber artist would benefit from seeing the Color Interaction video. I've got lots of other videos, but the two I've decided to show here are great for beginners and experienced alike. The first video is on Color Interaction and has some fun exercises for you to do along with the author. The second video offers some gerat Tips Tricks and Problem Solving Techniques for weavers. I picked up some handy ideas from this video. Saturday June 28th Grab your spinning wheel and come join others for an afternoon Spin-In while you view Spinning Cotton, Silk and Flax. This is the season to be working with these "cooler" fibers but they offer challenges different from the wool, alpaca, etc that you usually spin. So come learn some techniques for improving your skill with these summery fibers. I have each of these fibers for sale at the shop so you can practice what she says as she demonstrates the technique!
