Sharing Experiences from NEWS

Preparing for the Annual Sale
Co-Chairs Sandy Kirkpatrick and Pat Flaherty
October 12, 2011

Annual Sale Co-Chairs Sandy Kirkpatrick and Pat Flaherty will help you understand the submission process and jurying standards, and answer any questions regarding the sale or the accompanying exhibit on Lace Weaves.

Weaving on a Dobby Loom
Aija Kusins
November 9, 2011

Expert weaver Aija Kusins will talk about the ins and outs of weaving on a dobby loom. Unlike the more common floor looms with treadles or table looms with levers, dobby looms use either a mechanical set of bars or a computer connection to create sheds.

February

None scheduled so that everyone may attend the all-day program on cotton.

Researching in Our Library
Librarian Linda Snook
March 14, 2012

Guild Librarian Linda Snook will lead a discussion on how to use the extensive guild library resources learn more about a topic of interest. The guild library contains many older books, periodicals, and sample notebooks which are a treasure to the researcher.
