Fiber Fair 2008
It is a
one-day annual affair, always on the 3rd Saturday of May. There will be
demonstrations and mini-workshops but no formal classes as such. The vendors
are required to sell fiber-related items and encouraged to present
demonstrations and displays on their craft.
Our
guild is dedicated to the teaching and furthering of fiber arts. We have a
program of a particular craft at each monthly meeting as well as spinning
and weaving groups that meet each month. Space to spin and knit? No area
is set aside for this unless space is reserved for a booth; there's no
charge for demonstrations and exhibits as long as nothing is being sold.
You
are welcome to forward this packet to all your members.
