Attention local Fiber Artists:

We invite you to join us at the Strand on the 2nd Wednesdays of the month from 2 to 5pm starting on February 12th.  Come for the entire time or to drop in to see what we are doing!

This group will consist of makers who create in fiber (yarn, fabric, thread, spinning fibers, cane, etc, etc, etc) and strive to be not just makers but more. By sharing what they are creating, they can learn so much from each other and be inspired to try new things. Weavers may knit into their handwoven fabrics,  quilters might stitch into their quilted pieces, knitters might add hands-spun fibers into their hand knitted items, spinners can explore different fibers to knit or weave… there are so many possibilities of ways weaving might cross pollinate. Artists can learn to use patterns by viewing them as starting points and explore how to make them our own. By thinking “outside the box” fiber artists can create something special, something unique, something no one else has ever made in the same way.  

Each session will start with introductions and then move into sharing what the fiber artists have made either recently or in the past - a show and tell - that might last 30 seconds or 5 minutes. This type of informal setting can harbor a safe space for learning from each other and nurture creative souls. The group encourages you to bring what you’re are working on and eventually break into small interest groups as time allows to further discuss the works.

Looking forward to meeting you on February 12th and starting something exciting for our Fiber Art Community. Please contact Suzanne Hokanson if you are interested in joining us and if you would like more information. SWHFiberWorks@gmail.com
